Answer:

3 5/6

Explanation:

First you have to switch the right fraction around, making it 5/3, which will make the equation a multiplication one; 7/9 x 5/3

then you have to find the lowest common multiple between the denominators. which is 3.

then for the seven you have to do the same thing for the top that you do to the bottom.

then you have to multiply the two numerators; 11.5/3.

then you have to make it a mixed number.

so the final answer is 3 5/6.
