We can calculated each one out :

7 1/5 x 49 7/5 = 36/5 x 252 / 5 = 9072 / 25
49 2/10 x 7 1/5 = 980 / 10 x 36/5 = 35280 / 50 = 3528 / 5

or a much simpler way is that because both multiplication has 7 1/5 so we only have to compare the other terms, and since 49 7/5 is not equal to 49 2/10 these are not equal. and i didnt notice that till now.
