Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re multiplying mixed numbers, so first we’ll turn them into improper fractions, multiply, then simplify and convert back to a mixed number if needed.
---
1. 3 3/8 × 6 2/3
Convert to improper fractions:
- 3 3/8 = (3×8 + 3)/8 = 27/8
- 6 2/3 = (6×3 + 2)/3 = 20/3
Multiply:
27/8 × 20/3 = (27×20)/(8×3) = 540 / 24
Simplify:
Divide numerator and denominator by 12 → 540÷12=45, 24÷12=2 → 45/2
Or divide step by step: 540 ÷ 6 = 90, 24 ÷ 6 = 4 → 90/4 → 45/2
Convert to mixed number:
45 ÷ 2 = 22 remainder 1 → 22 1/2
✔ Check: 27/8 × 20/3 = (27×20)/(8×3) = 540/24 = 22.5 → yes, 22 1/2
---
2. 1 1/2 × 11 4/5
Convert:
- 1 1/2 = 3/2
- 11 4/5 = (11×5 + 4)/5 = 59/5
Multiply:
3/2 × 59/5 = (3×59)/(2×5) = 177/10
Convert to mixed:
177 ÷ 10 = 17 remainder 7 → 17 7/10
✔ Check: 1.5 × 11.8 = 17.7 → yes
---
3. 8 10/11 × 1 1/4
Convert:
- 8 10/11 = (8×11 + 10)/11 = 98/11
- 1 1/4 = 5/4
Multiply:
98/11 × 5/4 = (98×5)/(11×4) = 490 / 44
Simplify: Divide numerator and denominator by 2 → 245 / 22
Convert to mixed:
245 ÷ 22 = 11 remainder 3 → because 22×11=242, 245-242=3 → 11 3/22
✔ Check: 8.909... × 1.25 ≈ 11.136 → 11 + 3/22 ≈ 11.136 → yes
---
4. 8 1/3 × 3 1/2
Convert:
- 8 1/3 = 25/3
- 3 1/2 = 7/2

Denominator: 8×15=120
So: 4914 / 120
Simplify: Divide numerator and denominator by 6 →
4914 ÷ 6 = 819, 120 ÷ 6 = 20 → 819/20
Convert to mixed:
819 ÷ 20 = 40 remainder 19 → 40 19/20
