    1. Convert <math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML”><semantics><mrow><mn>3</mn><mfrac><mn>3</mn><mn>4</mn></mfrac></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”>3 \frac{3}{4}</annotation></semantics></math>343​:

    2. Convert <math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML”><semantics><mrow><mn>2</mn><mfrac><mn>1</mn><mn>2</mn></mfrac></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”>2 \frac{1}{2}</annotation></semantics></math>221​:

      <math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” display=”block”><semantics><mrow><mn>2</mn><mfrac><mn>1</mn><mn>2</mn></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>2</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow><mn>2</mn></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mrow><mn>4</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow><mn>2</mn></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mn>5</mn><mn>2</mn></mfrac></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”>2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{4 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}</annotation></semantics></math>221​=22×2+1​=24+1​=25​

    Now, we multiply the two improper fractions:

    <math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” display=”block”><semantics><mrow><mfrac><mn>15</mn><mn>4</mn></mfrac><mo>×</mo><mfrac><mn>5</mn><mn>2</mn></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mrow><mn>15</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>5</mn></mrow><mrow><mn>4</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mn>75</mn><mn>8</mn></mfrac></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”>\frac{15}{4} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{15 \times 5}{4 \times 2} = \frac{75}{8}</annotation></semantics></math>415​×25​=4×215×5​=875​

    To convert <math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML”><semantics><mrow><mfrac><mn>75</mn><mn>8</mn></mfrac></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”>\frac{75}{8}</annotation></semantics></math>875​ back to a mixed number:

    1. Divide 75 by 8, which gives 9 with a remainder of 3.
    2. So, <math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML”><semantics><mrow><mfrac><mn>75</mn><mn>8</mn></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mn>9</mn><mfrac><mn>3</mn><mn>8</mn></mfrac></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”>\frac{75}{8} = 9 \frac{3}{8}</annotation></semantics></math>875​=983​.

    Thus, <math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML”><semantics><mrow><mn>3</mn><mfrac><mn>3</mn><mn>4</mn></mfrac><mo>×</mo><mn>2</mn><mfrac><mn>1</mn><mn>2</mn></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mn>9</mn><mfrac><mn>3</mn><mn>8</mn></mfrac></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”>3 \frac{3}{4} \times 2 \frac{1}{2} = 9 \frac{3}{8}</annotation></semantics></math>343​×221​=983​.
