To multiply fractions, mutiply both numerators and then multiply both denominators. When using whole numbers, it might be a good idea to think of the whole number as a fraction with the whole number as the numerator and the denominator being 1. To solve your problem, look at it this way: 5/8 X 3/1; To solve. multiply 5 by 3 for the new numerator (15) and then multiply 8 by 1 for the new denominator (8) which would give you the new fraction of 15/8. You can then change the fraction to 1-7/8 for the correct answer.
