Answer 1

To multiply the fractions 4/5 and 13/8, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(4/5) * (13/8) = (4 * 13) / (5 * 8) = 52/40.

To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

52/40 = (52/4) / (40/4) = 13/10.

So, the answer in simplest form is 13/10.

To convert this into a mixed number, we divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (10). The quotient becomes the whole number and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction:

13 ÷ 10 = 1 remainder 3.

Therefore, the answer as a mixed number is 1 3/10.
