let's firstly conver the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then get their product.


\stackrel{mixed}{4(1)/(2)}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2(1)/(2)}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\cdot 6\implies \cfrac{270}{2}\implies 135

hmmm I take it that one can write that mixed as
135(0)/(2).

is valid, not that it makes any sense.
