Problem 1: 7½ × 8⁵⁄
Step 1: Convert to improper fractions
7½ = (7×2 + 1)/2 = 15/2
8⁵⁄₉ = (8×9 + 5)/9 = 77/9
Step 2: Multiply numerators → 15 × 77 = 1155
Step 3: Multiply denominators → 2 × 9 = 18
→ Fraction: 1155/18
Step 4: Simplify
Divide numerator and denominator by 3:
1155 ÷ 3 = 385
18 ÷ 3 = 6
→ 385/6
Step 5: Convert to mixed number
385 ÷ 6 = 64 with remainder 1 → 64¹⁄₆
✔ Final Answer for #1: 64¹⁄₆

Problem 2: 4³⁄₉ × 1⁶⁄₈
First, simplify fractions if possible before multiplying!
4³⁄₉ → 3/9 = 1/3 → so 4¹⁄₃ = (4×3+1)/3 = 13/3
1⁶⁄ → 6/8 = 3/4 → so 1³⁄₄ = (1×4+3)/4 = 7/4
Now multiply:
Numerators: 13 × 7 = 91
Denominators: 3 × 4 = 12
→ 91/12
Convert to mixed number:
91 ÷ 12 = 7 with remainder 7 → 7⁷⁄₁₂
