=================================================

Here, we have to multiply fractions.

How to Multiply Fractions?

Here are the steps:-

• Turn any whole numbers into fractions (example:- 3 = 3/1)
• Multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the numerator of the 2nd fraction; same with the denominator.

• Simplify if necessary.

So let's do it.

Step 1:-

`\longmapsto\sf{3=\displaystyle(3)/(1)`

Step 2:-

`\longmapsto\sf{\displaystyle(3)/(1) *(7)/(10)}`

`\longmapsto\sf{\displaystyle(21)/(10) }`

We can't simplify this fraction, but there's something else we can do:-

• Convert this improper fraction into a mixed number

Here's the answer:-

`\boxed{\sf{2\displaystyle(1)/(10) }}`
