Changing mixed fraction to a simple fraction;

2 $(\frac{1}{3})$ $( 1/3)$ can be written as 2 + $(\frac{1}{3})$ $(1/3)$

and similarly 5 $(\frac{2}{4})$ $(2/4)$ can be rotten as 5 + $(\frac{2}{4})$ $(2/4)$

multiplying these two

{2 + $(\frac{1}{3})$ $(1/3)$ } { 5 + $(\frac{2}{4})$ $(2/4)$ }

2 x 5 + 2 x $(\frac{2}{4})$ $(2/4)$ + $(\frac{1}{3})$ $( 1/3 )$ x 5 + $(\frac{1}{3})$ $( 1/3 )$ x $(\frac{2}{4})$ $(2/4)$

10 + $(\frac{4}{4})$ $(4/4)$ + $(\frac{5}{3})$ $(5/3)$ + $(\frac{2}{12})$ $(2/12)$

10 + 1 + $(\frac{5}{3} + \frac{2}{12})$ $(5/3 + 2/12)$

11 + $(\frac{5}{3} + \frac{2}{12})$ $( 5/3 + 2/12)$

solving parentheses using LCM

11 + $\frac{5.4 + 2}{12}$ $( 5.4 + 2) / 12$

11 + $(\frac{22}{12})$ $(22/12)$

$\frac{12.11 + 22}{12}$ $(12.11 + 22)/ 12$

$\frac{132 + 22}{12}$ $(132 + 22 )/12$

154 /12 = 12 + $(\frac{10}{12})$ $( 10/12)$ = 12 $\frac{5}{6}$ $5/6$
