The question requires that you evaluate the product of the given mixed fractions:


7(1)/(8)*5(2)/(3)

Express, the mixed fractions as improper fractions:


(57)/(8)*(17)/(3)

Since 3 can divide 57 without remainder, it follows:


(57)/(8)*(17)/(3)=(57*17)/(8*3)=(19*17)/(8*1)=(323)/(8)

Change the improper fraction to mixed fraction:


(323)/(8)=40(3)/(8)

The product of the mixed fractions is 40 3/8.
