Solve: 3⅚ × 5⅚ × ⅓x Mixed Number Multiplication

Multiplying whole numbers separately from fractions doesn't work because mixed numbers are single values, not separate parts. You must convert $3\frac{5}{6}$ to $\frac{23}{6}$ first to get the correct result.

Think of it as "multiply, then add": Take the whole number × denominator + numerator. For $3\frac{5}{6}$, that's 3×6+5 = 23, so you get $\frac{23}{6}$.

Always check if your answer can be simplified! In this problem, $\frac{805}{108}$ doesn't simplify further, but you should always look for common factors between numerator and denominator.

Work step-by-step and write everything down. Convert one mixed number at a time, then multiply straight across: numerator × numerator on top, denominator × denominator on bottom.

While possible, fractions give exact answers while decimals might be rounded. Since this problem asks for a fractional result, stick with fractions throughout your calculation.
