To multiply mixed numbers and fractions, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 3/4 = (4*1 + 3)/4 = 7/4
Now, multiply the two fractions:
(7/4) * (2/5) = (7*2)/(4*5) = 14/20
This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:
14/20 = (14/2) / (20/2) = 7/10
So, the answer in simplest form is 7/10.
