Step-by-step explanation:
First, you must convert them to improper fractions.
For example, if you have 1⅔, you write it as (3×1+2)/3 = 5/3.
Or, if you have 3½, you write it as (2×3+1)/2 = 7/2.
Next, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, 5/3 × 7/2 = 35/6.
Finally, you convert back to a mixed number by dividing. For example, 6 goes into 35 5 times with a remainder of 5.
35/6 = 5⅚
