Greater than 1 7/8 will be added up to 15/8 and 2 3/8 will be added up to 19/8

Since the number multiplied by 2 3/8 is greater than 1, the product, 1 7/8 x 2 3/8, will be greater than 2 3/8.
However, if it was one, then it would be the same.
But in this case,1 7/8 is greater than 1, so it would be more than 2 3/8.

Hope this helps :)
