Multiplying a 2-digit number by 3 1/3

1. Select a 2-digit number.
2. Divide the number by 3.
3. Move the decimal point one place to the right (or add a zero).

   Example:

1. The 2-digit number chosen to multiply by 3 1/3 is 78.
2. Divide by 3: 78/3 = 26
3. Add a zero: 260
4. So 78 x 3 1/3 = 260.

   See the pattern?

1. The 2-digit number chosen to multiply by 3 1/3 is 29.
2. Divide by 3: 29/3 = 9.6 2/3
3. Move the decimal point one place to the right: 96 2/3
4. So 29 x 3 1/3 = 96 2/3.

If the division does not come out even, divide to one decimal place and express the result as a fraction. Your answer will be a mixed number when you move the decimal point one place to the right.
