We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

1*8 = 8
8+7 = 15

15/8

2*3 = 6
6+1 = 7

7/3

Now we can finish and multiply


(15*7)/(8*3)

15*7 = 105
8*3 = 24

Simplify 105/24

105/24

24*4 = 96

105 - 96 = 9

4 is the whole number, and 9 is the numerator.

4 9/24

Simplify that,

9/3 = 3
24/3 = 8

4 3/8

Answer:
4(3)/(8)
