Changing mixed fraction to a simple fraction;

2 #( 1/3)# can be written as 2 + #(1/3)#

and similarly 5 #(2/4)# can be rotten as 5 + #(2/4)#

multiplying these two

{2 + #(1/3)# } { 5 + #(2/4)#}

2 x 5 + 2 x # (2/4)# +#( 1/3 )# x 5 +#( 1/3 )# x #(2/4)#

10 + #(4/4)#+ #(5/3)# + #(2/12)#

10 + 1 + #(5/3 + 2/12)#

11 + #( 5/3 + 2/12)#

solving parentheses using LCM

11 +# ( 5.4 + 2) / 12#

11 + #(22/12)#

#(12.11 + 22)/ 12#

#(132 + 22 )/12#

154 /12 = 12 +#( 10/12)# = 12 #5/6#
