If you want to do it on the Web2 calc this is how

$$(2+1\div 4)\times(3+2\div 3)$$

Re: how do i solve 2 1/4 x 3 2/3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's convert each mixed number to an improper fraction.......we have

9/4 x 11/3      Notice that we can "cross-cancel" the "9" with the "3"      This gives us

3/4 x 11/1 = 33/4 = 8 1/4

It's always nice if you can "cancel" before you multiply....it usually saves some work, later

Also, you could use the on-site calculator to do this...just make sure that you put parentheses around both mixed numbers.  The calculator will give you the answer in both fractional and "mixed form" - if the result has a "mixed form."
