How to Solve Fractions - Multiplication

First convert each mixed number to an improper fraction: multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place the result over the original denominator. For example, 2 1/3 becomes 7/3. Then multiply the improper fractions normally (numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator) and convert back to a mixed number.
