We have to solve this operation with mixed numbers.

We can solve this applying the distributive property or by converting the mixed numbers into fractions.

We will solve this converting the numbers into fractions:


\begin{gathered} (5+(1)/(7))\cdot(4+(2)/(3)) \\ (5\cdot7+1)/(7)\cdot(4\cdot3+2)/(3) \\ (35+1)/(7)\cdot(12+2)/(3) \\ (36)/(7)\cdot(14)/(3) \\ (36)/(3)\cdot(14)/(7) \\ 12\cdot2 \\ 24 \end{gathered}

Answer: 24
