Simple....you can either multiply by changing these fractions into decimals...or multiply them as fractions...
In this case..we will do both methods.
You have...
\(\frac{2}{3} * \frac{1}{3} *3 \frac{1}{4}\)
change \(3 \frac{1}{4}\)--->>> \(\frac{13}{4}\) (Multiply whole number by denominator..add the numerator..and then use the original denominator)
So..now..
\(\frac{2}{3} * \frac{1}{3} * \frac{13}{4} =\)
=\(\frac{2}{9}\)
=\(\frac{2}{9} * \frac{13}{4} = \frac{26}{36}\)
Simplifying it....\(\frac{13}{18}\)
Thus, your answer.
Now..convert into decimals...
you have...\(\frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{3} , \frac{13}{4}\)
\(\frac{2}{3} =0.67 (rounded)\)
\(\frac{1}{3} =0.33 (rounded)\)
\(\frac{13}{4} =3.25\)
0.670.333.25=0.72 (rounded)
And, if you divide \(\frac{13}{18}\)....
=0.72
Thus, you know both your answers are...correct!!
Have a great day! :D
