Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{41}{3}[/tex] or [tex]13\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first convert these words to numbers:
[tex]5\dfrac{1}{8}\times 2\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
Now, you can convert these to improper fractions to make them easier to multiply:
[tex]\dfrac{41}{8}\times \dfrac{8}{3}[/tex]
Multiply together the numerator and denominator:
[tex]\dfrac{41\times 8}{8\times 3}[/tex]
The 8's in the numerator and denominator cancel out, and you are left with just:
[tex]\dfrac{41}{3}[/tex] or [tex]13\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
