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.

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!"

Hope this helps!
