Multiplication and Division of Mixed Numbers

First step:
Let's reduce the fractions if possible.
Second step:
Let's convert the mixed numbers into fractions.

In multiplications

We will operate according to the method of numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.

In divisions:

We will change the operation from division to multiplication and swap the locations between the numerator and the denominator in the second fraction -that is, the fraction that is after the sign.
Then we will solve by multiplying numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.
