9 1/5 = (9 * 5 + 1)/5 = 46/5

Step 2: Multiply the two fractions.
(46/5) * 30

Step 3: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
(46 * 30) / (5 * 1)

Step 4: Calculate the multiplication:
1380 / 5

Step 5: Simplify the fraction if possible.
1380 divided by 5 equals 276.

So, the exact answer to 9 1/5 * 30 is 276.
