Answer:

After making them the improper fractions the numerator is multiplied with the numerator and denominator is multiplied with the denominator .

Explanation:

Suppose we have fractions

3 4/5 and 2 15/24

So we multiply the whole number with the denominator beside them and add to the numerator to make them an improper fraction.

These will become

19/5 * 63/24

= 19*63/ 5*24

= 1197/120

= 9 117/120

After making them the improper fractions the numerator is multiplied with the numerator and denominator is multiplied with the denominator .

The answer 1197/120 is divided ( 1197 is divided by 120) to get the mixed number back with a whole number and a fraction.
