23

Let’s start by making the mixed number an improper fraction. To do this you multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator.

4 x 5 + 3 = 23

No we have 23/5 divided by 1/5

We have common denominators but you don’t need them for multiplying and dividing fractions. To discuss fractions you just go across, but there’s a thing. You have to flip the second fraction then you can multiply instead of divide.

So

23/5 x 5/1

23 x 5 = 115

5 x 1 = 5

115/5

This can be simplified to 23 because 5 divided by 115 is 23.

Hope this helps
