Answer:

77/4, or (19 1/4)

Explanation:

It's usually easier to work with improper fractions when doing operations with them, so let's convert them:

(22/4) x (7/2)

We can also simplify the fraction on the right by dividing both numbers by two.

(11/2) x (7/2)

Now just multiply the top numbers (numerators) by each other, and the bottom numbers (denominators) by each other.

11 x 7 = 77

2 x 2 = 4 We now have 77/4

We can't simplify this further. As a mixed fraction, it's (19 1/4)
