You want to write the mixed numbers as improper fractions before you multiply.

you take the denominator, multiply the whole number THEN add the numerator. the denominator will stay the same.

8 x 3 = 24 + 1 = 25/3
16 x 5 = 80 + 1 = 81/5

plug those 2 numbers in your calculator multiplying. then you take that answer 135 and divide by 3 because thats the piece being painted.
