Answer:

9/20

Explanation:

UM I WROTE THIS, BUT IT’S WRONG. THE RIGHT ANSWER. IS 9/20 :DDD

1/3 times 3/5 = (you would need to get the same denominator) (which would be 15) (so you have to multiply the numbers so that tha denominator gets to 15. 3x3 and then 3x5 = 9/15. And then 1/3 x 5/5 = 5/15. So then you multiply 9x15= 135/15 then you make the 2 1/4 a improper fraction = 9/4. Now you want 135/15 and 9/4 to have the same denominator. Which can be 60, 135x4 and 15x4 = 540/60 and then 9x15 and 4x15 =135/60. Then you simplify them (540/60 reduces to 1/9) (135/60 reduces to -9/4) and the you multiply them to get -2 and 5/36

SO JUST IGNORE THIS ^
