Multiply. Write each product in simplest form.
1. 2 3/8 * 1 3/5 = 3 4/5
2. 1 1/5 * 3/5 = 18/25
3. 1 5/6 * 2/3 = 11/10
Do I have the correct answers? If not can someone show me how to solve them?
Can somebody please help me?

1/2 times 5/8
To verify if the answers are correct, we can perform the multiplication calculations step by step. Let's solve each multiplication problem:
1. 2 3/8 * 1 3/5:
To multiply mixed numbers, we can convert them into improper fractions.
2 3/8 is equal to (2 * 8 + 3) / 8 = 19/8.
1 3/5 is equal to (1 * 5 + 3) / 5 = 8/5.
Now, multiply the fractions: (19/8) * (8/5) = (19 * 8) / (8 * 5) = 152/40.
Simplify the fraction: 152/40 = 38/10 = 19/5.
The answer is 19/5, which is equivalent to 3 4/5.
2. 1 1/5 * 3/5:
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 1/5 is equal to (1 * 5 + 1) / 5 = 6/5.
Multiply the fractions: (6/5) * (3/5) = (6 * 3) / (5 * 5) = 18/25.
The answer is 18/25.
3. 1 5/6 * 2/3:
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 5/6 is equal to (1 * 6 + 5) / 6 = 11/6.
Multiply the fractions: (11/6) * (2/3) = (11 * 2) / (6 * 3) = 22/18.
Simplify the fraction: 22/18 = 11/9.
The answer is 11/9, which is not the same as 11/10.
So, the correct answers are:
1. 2 3/8 * 1 3/5 = 3 4/5 (or 19/5)
2. 1 1/5 * 3/5 = 18/25
3. 1 5/6 * 2/3 = 11/9
Therefore, you have one incorrect answer. The correct answer for the third calculation is 11/9, not 11/10.
