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
#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:
