Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{1 (2)/(15)}}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{1 (7)/(10) * (2)/(3) }

Convert the mixed number into improper fraction


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (10 * 1 + 7)/(10) * (2)/(3)}}


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (17)/(10) * (2)/(3)}}

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator, and multiply the denominator for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (17 * 2)/(10 * 3)}}


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (34)/(30)}}


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (17)/(15) }}

Convert the improper fraction into mixed number


\longrightarrow{ \sf{1 (2)/(15) }}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
