Hi,
2/3*2 1/5*3/4= 0r 1 1/10

Here's a little more detail:



Change the mixed nuber  to an improper fraction 



The 2 in the top of the first fraction and the 4 in the
bottom of the last fraction can both be divided by 2
so we cancel them and write what we get when we divide
them by 2 above the 2 and below the 4

1      

       2

Also the 3 in the top of the last fraction and the 3 in the
bottom of the first fraction can both be divided by 3, so we
cancel them and write what we get when we divide them by 3
above this 3 on the top and below the 3 on the bottom

1      1

1      2

Now we multiply across the tops 1×11×1 and get 11 for the numerator
and multiply across the bottoms 1×5×2 and get 10 for the denominator
and we have



Now since this is an improper ("top-heavy") fraction we change it to a mixed
 number

      1
  10)11
     10
      1
