Multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers and interpret the result in context.
Multiply with mixed numbers
Problem
Find the product: \(1~1/2~\times~2/3\). Simplify your answer.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
A mixed number must be converted to one fraction before multiplication. We’ll rewrite one and one half as an improper fraction, multiply it by two thirds, and simplify matching factors across the product. Recognizing whether the two resulting fractions are reciprocals gives a useful structural check on the final value.
