Final answer:

(5 2/4) x (3 1/2) = 19 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply (5 2/4) and (3 1/2), we first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

(5 2/4) = (5 + 2/4)

= (20/4 + 2/4)

= 22/4.

Similarly, (3 1/2) = (3 + 1/2)

= (6/2+1/2)

= 7/2.

Next, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately. (

22/4) x (7/2)

= (22 x 7)/(4 x 2)

= 154/8.

Finally, we simplify the fraction.

154/8

= 19 2/8

= 19 1/4.
