Answer:
Hi!
In these questions you're being asked to multiply mixed numbers. The easiest way to do this is to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, and then multiply them in that form.
For the first question:
[tex]1\frac{3}{5} = \frac{8}{5} ; 1\frac{2}{5} =\frac{7}{5} \\[/tex] To convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, you just multiply the denominator by the whole number, and then add it to the current numerator, forming the new numerator. The denominator stays the same.
[tex]\frac{8}{5} *\frac{7}{5} = \frac{56}{25}[/tex] Next, multiply together the numerators, and then multiply together the denominators.
[tex]\frac{56}{25} = 2\frac{6}{25}[/tex]
