Answer:

He is wrong because the correct answer is [tex]\frac{35}{18}[/tex] which is not equal to [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression,

[tex]\frac{5}{6}\times 2\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{7}{3}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{35}{18}[/tex]

Since,

[tex]\frac{35}{18}\neq \frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Thus, Kwan's answer is incorrect because he multiply incorrectly.
