To multiply mixed numbers, you need to convert them to improper fractrions, multiply and then convert them back to a mixed number. For example: 2 1/2 x 5 1/3 = 5/2 x 16 /3 numerator 5 x 16 = 80 denominator 2 x 3 = 6 so now you convert 80/6 into a mixed number 80 / 6 = 13 and 2/6 or, reduced, 13 1/3.
