if you convert to an improper fraction, you will get 16/5 and 29/4. Since you are finding the product, which is multiplication, you would just multiply the numerator by the numerator (16x29) and the denominator by denominator (5x4) you will get 116/5 (simplified) . if you convert back, you will get 23 1/5

If I'm not mistaken, it should be 28/5 or 5 3/5 as the product is timesing the products together
