Answer: 2 3/4.
Step-by-step explanation: To multiply the mixed numbers, we need to first make them into improper fractions. To make 2 1/5 into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator, 5, and add that to the numerator 1, giving us 11/5. We do the same for 1 1/4, giving us 5/4. 5/4 x 11/5 equals 55/20. 55/20 simplifies to 2 3/4.
