To multiply the mixed number \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) by the fraction \(\frac{1}{5}\), follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed number \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) into an improper fraction:
\[
3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{12 + 1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}
\]
2. Now, multiply \(\frac{13}{4}\) by \(\frac{1}{5}\):
\[
\frac{13}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{13 \times 1}{4 \times 5} = \frac{13}{20}
\]
So, \(3 \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{5}\) simplifies to \(\frac{13}{20}\).
