Convert each of the mixed numbers to improper fractions and then multiply as usual, i.e. numerator times numerator over denominator times denominator. Don't forget to reduce to lowest terms. Ask your instructor if the answer needs to be presented in improper fraction or mixed number form and then proceed appropriately.
