I am not sure whether you want to solve: \(\displaystyle 1\frac{1}{6} \ \ \cdot \ \ x \ = \ 660\) or you want to solve: \(\displaystyle 1\frac{1}{6} \ \ \cdot \ \ 660 \ = \ x\) I suspect it is the second one. In that case, first express the mixed number (1 1/6) as a pure fraction and then complete the multiplication operation.
