#3/4xx1 1/8=27/32#

First convert 1 1/8 to an improper fraction.

Multiply the denominator by the whole number 1, add the numerator 1, and place the result in the numerator, keeping the denominator the same.

#((8xx1+1))/8=9/8#

Rewrite the expression.

#3/4xx9/8#

Multiply the numerators and denominators.

#(3xx9)/(4xx8)=27/32#
