Answer 1

To solve this problem, you can use the following steps:

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
5 1/2 = 11/2
3 3/4 = 15/4

2. Multiply the fractions:
(11/2) x (15/4) = (11 x 15) / (2 x 4) = 165/8

3. Simplify the result to a mixed number:
165/8 = 20 5/8

Therefore, the answer is C. 20 5/8.
