Answer and Explain

Turn each mixed fraction into a fraction: 3 1/2 = (2*3) + 1 = 7/2 (keep bottom number) and 8 2/3 = (8*3) + 2 = 26/3

Next, Multiply top numbers together and bottom numbers together:

7*26 = 182 and 2*3 = 6 so you get 182/6; next divide 182 by 6 and answer is 30.333333

3 1/2 * 8 2/3 2*1/2*8 1*8 the answer is 8
