Make each mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
%2833%2F4%29%2A%2820%2F3%29
You can cross cancel the 33 and 3 making 33 -> 11 and 3 ->1 as well as 20 and 4 where 20 -> 5 and 4 -> 1.
%2811%2F1%29%2A%285%2F1%29
Multiple across.
11%2A5=55 & 1%2A1=1
Now reduce.
55%2F1=55
Answer 55.
Don't give up when you see fractions. They are like nuts, hard and un-fun on the outside but inside soft and easy to smash! Only if you give it a try can you have a chance to destroy. I mean that it the most fun and encouraging way. :)
