Answer:


(14)/(15)

(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Given the following equations:


2(4)/(5) *(1)/(3)

1(1)/(4) *(1)/(5)

In order to solve the following equations, we convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions and then solve by multiplying the numerators and the denominators by each other.


2(4)/(5) *(1)/(3)

2(4)/(5) =5*2=10+4=(14)/(5)

(14)/(5) *(1)/(3)

14*1=14

5*3=15

=(14)/(15)


1(1)/(4) *(1)/(5)

1(1)/(4) =1*4=4+1=(5)/(4)

(5)/(4) *(1)/(5)

5*1=5

4*5=20

(5)/(20) /5=(1)/(4)

=(1)/(4)

Hope this helps.
