Question:
Solution:
Consider the following multiplication diagram, where the multiplication of extremes and means to generate a fraction is explained:
this is equivalent to:
[tex]\frac{2\text{ x 2 }}{3\text{ x 1}}=\text{ }\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Applying the definition of mixed numbers, we have that the above fraction is equivalent to:
[tex]\text{ }\frac{4}{3}\text{ = 1 }\frac{1}{3}\text{ = }\frac{(3\text{ x 1) + 1}}{3}\text{ = }\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
that is:
[tex]\text{ }\frac{4}{3}\text{ = 1 }\frac{1}{3}\text{ }[/tex]
then, the correct answer would be:
