multiply the whole numbers as usual. then find the gcf and divide for how many times the denominator can go into the gcf. gcf for 1/5 and 2/3 is 15 but Idk how to deal with the numerator.

Answer 2

Here is your answer:

First, change the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

`5(1)/(5) \\eq (26)/(5)`

`2(2)/(3) \\eq (8)/(3)`

Now multiply:

`(26)/(5) *(8)/(3) =(208)/(15)`

Then turn the improper fraction into a mixed number:

`(208)/(15) =13(13)/(15)`

Therefore your answer is "13 13/15!"
