Answer:

9 3/5

Explanation:

first you have to turn your mixed number into an improper fraction.

2 times 5 is 10 then 10 plus 2 is 12

your new problem is 4/1 times 12/5

4 times 12 is 48 and 5 times 1 is 5

48 divided by 5 is 9 3/5

Answer:

9 3/5

Explanation:

We can start by multiplying 4 * whatever 2 2/5 is as an improper fraction.

We can find that 2 2/5 is 12/5 ------ 2 * 5 + 2/5

We are solving 12/5 * 4. That is 48/5.

Simplifying:

9 3/5.

Thus, our final answer is 9 3/5.
