convert all of your numbers to fractions by turning the whole and fraction term into an improper fraction. For example, one and two-fifths, written as 1 2/5, becomes 7/5 by multiplying the denominator (5) by the whole number (1), adding it to the numerator (2) and then putting that number (5*1 + 2 = 7) over the denominator. Then, simply multiply the fractions as you normally would and don't forget to simplify.
