Given:


2(3)/(5)*3=?

First of all,we multiply 5 and 2 i.e.


\begin{gathered} 5*2=10 \\ \end{gathered}

Then,add 3 to this value.

It becomes 10+3=13

Hence,


2(3)/(5)*3=(13)/(5)*3
=(39)/(5)

Now, we convert the obtained value in mixed fraction.

First we divide 39 by 5 and then write the remainder in numerator and dividend in the side as shown.


(39)/(5)=7(4)/(5)

Here, when we divide we get 6 as divident and 4 as remainder, so we express it like this.

Hence, option (4) is correct.
