Best shown with an example.
Say 2/3 X 5 4/5
#1 convert to an Improper (top heavy) fraction
Hence 2/3 X 29/5
#2 cancel down where possible. In this case cannot cancel down; no common factors.
#3 ; multiply the numerators(top) together, and then multiply the denominators(botton).
Hence
58/15
#4 ; Convert back to a mixed number.
58/15 = 3 13/15 The answer!!!!
