The problem in the image asks:

**On Friday, Marco sold 4 1/2 pitchers of lemonade. On Saturday, he sold 2 5/6 times as much lemonade as on Friday. How many pitchers of lemonade did Marco sell on Saturday? Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.**

### Step-by-step solution:

1. **Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:**
   - For Friday: \( 4 \frac{1}{2} \) becomes \( \frac{9}{2} \).
   - For the multiplier on Saturday: \( 2 \frac{5}{6} \) becomes \( \frac{17}{6} \).

2. **Multiply the two improper fractions:**
   \[
   \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{17}{6} = \frac{9 \times 17}{2 \times 6} = \frac{153}{12}
   \]

3. **Simplify the fraction:**
   \[
   \frac{153}{12} = \frac{51}{4}
   \]

4. **Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:**
   \[
   \frac{51}{4} = 12 \frac{3}{4}
   \]

So, Marco sold **12 3/4 pitchers** of lemonade on Saturday.
