Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

27 1/8 = 217/8

2 1/9 = 19/9

Next, mulitply the numerators and the denominators.

numerators- 217 x 19 = 4123

denominators- 8 x 9 = 72

                 = 4123/72

Since this fraction can not be simplifyed, the next step would be to divide the numerator by the denominator.

 4123 ÷ 72= 57 R 19   (click the link for the long division)
