Answer 1

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators.

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

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4.

52/40 ÷ 4/4 = 13/10.

To convert this fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (10) to get the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part.

13 ÷ 10 = 1 remainder 3

So, the answer in simplest form is 1 3/10.
