1 3/8ths times 12 2/5ths
=
1%263%2F8%2A12%262%2F5
=%288%2F8%2B3%2F8%29%2A%2812%2A5%2F5%2B2%2F5%29
=%2811%2F8%29%2A%28%2860%2B2%29%2F5%29
=%2811%2F8%29%2A%2862%2F5%29
=%2811%2A62%29%2F%288%2A5%29
=682%2F40, [which could have been simplified a little before getting to this]
= Divide 682 by 40,
=17%261%2F20
