To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. We then simplify if possible.

So, 7 2/3 can be written as an improper fraction:

7 2/3 = (3*7 + 2)/3 = 23/3

Similarly, 2 3/5 can be written as an improper fraction:

2 3/5 = (5*2 + 3)/5 = 13/5

Now, we multiply the two fractions together:

(23/3) * (13/5) = (23 * 13)/(3 * 5) = 299/15

Therefore, the answer is A) 299/15.
