Answer: 65/9

Explanation:

Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

In this case, we have:

3 1/3 = (3 × 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3

2 1/6 = (2 × 6 + 1) / 6 = 13/6

2. Multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together.

10/3 × 13/6 = (10 × 13) / (3 × 6) = 130/18

3. Simplify the fraction, if possible.

To simplify 130/18, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 130 and 18, which is 2. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get:

130/18 = (2 × 65) / (2 × 9) = 65/9
