How do you multiply two mixed numbers together?

To multiply two mixed numbers, first convert each mixed number into an improper fraction. For example, to convert (a \frac{b}{c}) to an improper fraction, use the formula (\frac{ac + b}{c}). Once both mixed numbers are in improper fraction form, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible and convert back to a mixed number if desired.
