Convert "two and three-eighths" to its equivalent improper-fraction form.

Multiply the fractions.

Simplify the result, if possible.

Convert back to mixed-number form.

If you get stuck, please reply showing what you have tried, so we can "see" where you are getting stuck. Thank you.

You do not cross-multiply when finding the product of fractions. As I said in the response to another of your questions, do a search on the internet. I am sure you will find out how to multiply fractions.
