To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.

you have to turn them into improper fractions before you multiply them.
Multiplying mixed fractions is very cumbersome and prone to errors. Therefore, it is prudent to convert them to improper fractions. Once that is done, you may simply find the product of all the numerators and divide that by the product of all the denominators. Then you convert back to a mixed number. And there are lots of tricks -- like "canceling out" -- that you can do to simplify the multiplication. Unfortunately, those techniques are very difficult to demonstrate here. It would not be even if it is not an improper fraction and that's why you have to convert
Convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. In actually adding mixed numbers, it is easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper (top heavy) fractions, do the addition, simplify the resulting fraction and convert any resulting improper fraction back into a mixed number.
My strategy for multiplying mixed fractions: what you need to do is turn the mixed number into an improper fraction before you do any thing else. to do that you need to multiply the denominator with the whole number then add the numerator. now that number will be your numerator the denominator stays the same then you do the same to the other mixed fraction turn it into an improper fraction then once both are like that you multiply the numerators together to find the numerator then you multiply the denominators together to get the denominator then simplify your answer to get the right answer.
The whole number that comes right before 105 is 104. Whole numbers are the set of numbers starting from 0 and increasing by 1 without any decimals or fractions. In this sequence, the number before 105 is 104, as it is the whole number that is one less than 105.
