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.
