Answer:

5/8

Explanation:

Ii would convert them into 3/2 and 12/5

3/2 decided by 12/5 would how you would set up the equation, then you keep the 3/2 change the decision to multiplication, then flip 12/5 to 5/12 then you would do 3/2*5/12=15/24 which when you simplify you would get 5/8

Answer:

2 7/24

Explanation:

2 2/5=12/5

Then multiply by the inverse: 11/2 times 5/12 which is 55/24

Then make 55/24 a mixed number 2 7/24

If it is 1 1/2 and not 11/2 then the answer is 3 3/5
