$$
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.
So, multiplying 4/9 by 7 gives us (4*7)/(9*1) = 28/9.
To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (28) by the denominator (9). The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part.
28 divided by 9 is 3 with a remainder of 1. So, the mixed number form of 28/9 is 3 1/9.
Therefore, the answer is 3 1/9.
