Step-by-step explanation:
a) write 2 2/3 as an improper fraction in its simplest form....
[tex] = 2 \frac{2}{3} \\ [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{2 \times 3 + 2}{ 2} \\ [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{8}{2} \\ [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{8 \div 2}{2 \div 2} \\ [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{4}{1} = 4 \\ [/tex]
B) Work out 2 2/3 x5 give your anwser as an improper...
[tex] = 2 \frac{2}{3} \times 5 \\ [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{2 \times 3 + 2}{3} \times 5 \\ [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{8}{3} \times 5 \\ [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{40}{3} \\ [/tex]
