To multiply 1 1/8 by 9 1/3, we need to convert both numbers to improper fractions:
1 1/8 = (8/8 + 1/8) = 9/8 9 1/3 = (27/3 + 1/3) = 28/3
Now we can multiply the fractions:
(9/8) x (28/3) = (9 x 28) / (8 x 3) = 252/24
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
252/24 = (252 ÷ 4) / (24 ÷ 4) = 63/6
So, 1 1/8 x 9 1/3 is equal to 63/6.
