Convert your two mixed numbers to improper fractions (multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction part and add that number to the numerator of the fraction part to get the numerator of the improper fraction). Then invert the divisor and multiply. Use the prime factorization of the numerator and denominator of the product fraction to reduce to lowest terms. Hint: In this problem, the product obtained by the multipication process is already in lowest terms.
