Answer:

10
(1)/(2)

Explanation:

to multiply, convert each fraction into an improper fraction. you do that by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator. so 3
(3)/(4) will be
(15)/(4) and 2
(4)/(5) will be
(14)/(5). now you multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. your fraction will be
(210)/(20). to simplify, you divide 210 by 20 and you will get 10
(1)/(2) :)
