Answer: 38 23/24
Explanation:
Turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions
5 * 3 = 15
15 + 2 = 17
17/3
————————
6 * 8 = 48
48 + 7 = 55
55/8
————————
Now multiply the improper fractions
17/3 * 55/8
17 * 55 = 935
3 * 8 = 24
Divide 935 by 24 to get the answer as a mixed number.
935 / 24 = 38.95833
0.95833/1 = 23/24
935/24 as a mixed number is 38 23/24
