First convert your mixed numbers to improper fractions.
You do this by multiplying the denominator and the whole number, and then adding the numerator. The denominator remains the same though.

5 3/4 becomes 23/4
2 1/2 becomes 5/2

23/4 x 5/2

When multiplying fractions, just multiply straight across.

23 x 5 = 115
4 x 2 = 8

115/8 is the answer.

Or in mixed number form, divide 115 by 8 and you get

14 3/8
