Answer:

Explanation:

1) convert all mixed fractions to improper fractions by multiplying whole number with denominator and then adding the result to the numerator:

4*5=20

20+4=24

hence fraction one would be 24/5

fraction 2: 8*3=24

24+1=25

25/3 is fraction 2


(24)/(5)*(25)/(3)

noice how 3 is a factor of 24 and 25 is a factor of 5?

we can remove(divide) 3 from 24 and 3 from 3 and 5 from 25 and 5 from 5, this is called cross multiplication


(8)/(5) is the answer
