first you would have to turn the mixed number into a improper fraction. to do that you would have to multiply the denominator by the 1 (which is the whole number) to get 3*1=3 then you would have to add the numerator to get 3+2=5. now you have an improper fraction which is now 5/3. you always keep the denominator the same. next you have to multiply the two fractions you now have. which is 5 over 3 and 3 over 4 . all you have to do is multiply across to get 5*3=15 on the top and 3*4=12 on the bottom. so your new fraction you have is 15/12. that's an improper fraction so you would have to divide 12 by 15. you know 12 goes into 15 one time with a remainder of 3. so now you have 1 3/12 as your answer. but your not done yet. now you have to simplify your answer by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 3/3=1 and 12/3=4, you final answer should be 1 1/4 .
