First you want to multiply. 
Convert the mixed number to improper. Multiply the denominator by the whole number then add the product to the numerator. That will give you your mixed number. 
Make 5 as a fraction by putting 1 as the denominator .
Then multiply the numbers horizontally.

How many times does 3 go into 25 and how many is left over? The denominator stays the same.
