See explanation.

Explanation:

To multiply two fractions you have to multiply both their numerators and denominators:

#5/4xx8/3=(5*8)/(4*3)=40/12#

In the fraction we got both numerator and denominator are divisible by #4# so you can educe the fraction:

#40/12=(cancel(4)*10)/(cancel(4)*3)=10/3#

Now we cannot reduce the fraction any more, but we got an improper fraction (the numerator is greater than the denominator), so we can change the fraction to a mixed number:

#10/3=9/3+1/3=3 1/3#
