Multiplying fractions are actually pretty easy :)

I see you have a mixed number, so convert that to an improper fraction:
1*4=4, 4+3=7. So the improper fraction would be 7/4.

To do 5*7/4, display 5 as a fraction by putting it over 1.

5/1 * 7/4

Multiply numbers and denominators across

5*7=35

1*4=4

35/4 would be your answer, or in whole number form it would be 8 3/4:)
