$2 \times \frac{4}{9}$\
provide an answer as a simplified proper fraction or mixed number.\
skill code: 205011

Explanation:

Step1: Convert integer to fraction

We can write the integer 2 as a fraction with denominator 1, so \( 2=\frac{2}{1} \). Now the multiplication becomes \( \frac{2}{1} \times \frac{4}{9} \).

Step2: Multiply the fractions

To multiply two fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So \( \frac{2}{1} \times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{2\times4}{1\times9}=\frac{8}{9} \). Since \( \frac{8}{9} \) is already a simplified proper fraction, we are done.

Answer:

\( \frac{8}{9} \)
