  Here’s the step-by-step process:

  Let’s say we want to multiply the following:

  • Fraction: 2/3
  • Whole number: 5
  • Mixed number: 1 1/4

  Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
  1 1/4 = (1 × 4 + 1) / 4 = 5/4

  Step 2: Multiply all the fractions and whole numbers together.
  (2/3) × 5 × (5/4) = (2 × 5 × 5) / (3 × 4)
  = 50 / 12
  = 25/6

  Therefore, the result of multiplying 2/3, 5, and 1 1/4 is 25/
