# Explanation## Step 1We first convert the mixed number
to an improper fraction for easy computation.To do this, we multiply the whole number
by the denominator
of the fractional part and then add the numerator
. This gives us the new numerator of our fraction. The denominator remains the same.### \(2 \frac{2}{3}=\frac {(2 \times 3)+ 2}{3}= \frac{8}{3}\) ## Step 2To find how many kilometres Izzy and her llama walked on Tuesday, we now need to multiply the distance they walked on Monday (expressed as the improper fraction
) by the fractional part of the distance they covered on Tuesday
.###
This fraction can't be simplified any further. So, the answer in kilometers (expressed in fraction) they walked on Tuesday will be
