Answer: The required result is
40(3)/(8).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to perform the following indicated operation :

E=7(1)/(8)*5(2)/(3)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

To perform the given multiplication, first we need to convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

The simplification of the given operation is as follows :

$E\\\\\\=7(1)/(8)*5(2)/(3)\\\\\\=(57)/(8)*(17)/(3)\\\\\\=(19*17)/(8)\\\\\\=(323)/(8)\\\\\\=40(3)/(8)$

Thus, the required result is
40(3)/(8).
