D. [tex]$\frac{47}{30}$[/tex]

Answer :

To solve the problem

$$
2.35 \cdot \frac{2}{3},
$$

we start by converting the decimal to a fraction.

1. Write $2.35$ as a fraction:

$$
2.35 = \frac{235}{100}
$$

2. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. Dividing both by $5$, we get:

$$
\frac{235 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{47}{20}
$$

3. Now, multiply the fraction $\frac{47}{20}$ by $\frac{2}{3}$:

$$
\frac{47}{20} \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{47 \times 2}{20 \times 3} = \frac{94}{60}
$$

4. Finally, simplify $\frac{94}{60}$. Dividing the numerator and the denominator by $2$:

$$
\frac{94 \div 2}{60 \div 2} = \frac{47}{30}
$$

Thus, the final answer is

$$
\frac{47}{30}.
