Yr9 homework Fractions?

Question

So, In school we have been learning about fractions.

I am terrible at fractions. I literally dislike maths.

I was wondering If you could help me out.

Our teacher wrote an equation out on the board:

13/4 x 22/3 = 7/4 x 8/3 = 14/3 = 42/3

How did she get the answer. If you know, can you please tell me and show the workings out.

Thank toy,

Answer 1

1 3/4 * 2 2/3 =  ( 4*1 + 3)/4 * (3*2 + 2)/3 =

7/4*8/3 = 7*8/4*3 = 56/12 =( 56/4)/( 12/4) = 14/3   = 4 and 2/3

           -------------------- = 4 and 2/3

  4       14
