What is the product of 3 2/5 and 5/6?

15/6

34/6

3/6

17/6

When multiplying a mixed number by a fraction, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction first, then multiply and simplify.

3 2/5 equals 17/5 because 3 is 15/5 and plus 2/5 gives 17/5. Now multiply by 5/6: (17/5) × (5/6). The 5 in the numerator and the 5 in the denominator cancel, leaving 17/1 × 1/6 = 17/6. So the product is 17/6, which is also 2 5/6 as a mixed number.
