Answer:

The product is
12(3)/(5)

Explanation:

Start with:


(3)(4(1)/(5) )


4(1)/(5) is the same as
4+(1)/(5) .

Let's rewrite:


(3)(4+(1)/(5))

Distribute
3 in to
4:


(3)(4)=12

And
3 distributed in to
(1)/(5) is the same as
(3)/(1) ×
(1)/(5)

Multiply.


(3)/(1) ×
(1)/(5) =(3)/(5)

Now let's add our new whole number and fraction.


12+(3)/(5)

And we've already established that the expression above is how we can rewrite a mixed number, so let's make it a mixed number by adding.


12(3)/(5)
