Answer:

35/4 = 8 3/4 = 8.75

Explanation:

14/5 * 25/8 = 14 · 25/5 · 8 = 350/40 = 35 · 10/4 · 10 = 35/4

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(350, 40) = 10. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 10 gives 35/4.

In words - fourteen fifths multiplied by twenty-five eighths = thirty-five quarters.
