I can solve real-world problems by multiplying fractions and mixed numbers.

1
To multiply mixed numbers, first convert each mixed number to an improper fraction.
2
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator; place the result over the original denominator.
3
After multiplying, simplify the fraction, and convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number.
