Question 1210353
<pre>
Since you started with a mixed number {{{3&1/3}}}, multiplied by a common
fraction {{{5/9}}}, your answer should not be left as an improper fraction.

{{{3&1/3}}}{{{""*""}}}{{{5/9}}}{{{""=""}}}

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction.

{{{matrix(1,7,Denominator, times, whole, "part,", then, plus, numerator)/Denominator}}} or  

{{{(3*3+1)/3}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{(9+1)/3}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{10/3}}}

That is an improper fraction because the numerator 10 is not less than the
denominator 3.

Then you have:

{{{10/3}}}{{{""*""}}}{{{5/9}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{50/27}}}, which is also an improper fraction.

Now change that improper fraction to a mixed number by division:

   <u> 1</u>
27)50 
   <u>27</u>
   23

Then the answer is of the form 

{{{quotient}}}{{{remainder/divisor}}} or

{{{1&23/27}}}
