Alright Guest, in order to solve this problem you need to get rid of that mixed number, in order do so, do as what follows:

 

You start off with:

 

7 x 1 \(\frac{3}{5}\)

 

Let's ignore the seven for now and focus on that mixed number: 

\(\frac{3}{5}\)

1 3/5

 

Now what you want to do is multiply the denominator (5) by the whole number (1) and add that answer to the numerator, WHILE KEEPING IT AS A FRACTION if done correctly you should get:

 

8/5

 

Now put that seven back into play:

 

7 x 8/5

 

If you'd like you can think of the seven as 7/1 multiply the numerators by the numerators and multiply the denominators by the denominators.

 

7/1 x 8/5

 

After multiplying, you should obtain the solution of:

 

56/5
