Answer 2

`(99)/(14)` or
`7(1)/(14)`

Explanation:

`5(1)/(2)` ×
`1(2)/(7)`

Step 1. Convert the mixed fractions into an improper fraction (by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator with de denominator to the result)

Answer:

`5(1)/(2)=`
`2` ×
`5+1=`
`(11)/(2)`

`1(2)/(7)=`
`7` ×
`1+2=(9)/(7)`

Step 2. Multiply (by multiplying numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator)

Answer:

`(11)/(2)` ×
`(9)/(7)=(99)/(14)` or
`7(1)/(14)`
