1 answer

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.

In this case, multiplying 5/3 by 5/7 gives us:

(5/3) * (5/7) = (5 * 5) / (3 * 7) = 25/21

To convert this answer to a mixed number, we need to write it as a whole number plus a proper fraction.

To do this, we divide the numerator (25) by the denominator (21):

25 ÷ 21 = 1 remainder 4

So, the answer is 1 and 4/21.
