Earlier you found that \[\Large 2\frac{5}{6} = \frac{17}{6}\]
Once that step is done, you just multiply straight across (numerators pair up and multiply, so do denominators)
\[\Large \frac{3}{5}\times2\frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{5}\times\frac{17}{6}\]
\[\Large \frac{3}{5}\times2\frac{5}{6} = \frac{3\times17}{5\times6}\]
\[\Large \frac{3}{5}\times2\frac{5}{6} = \frac{51}{30}\]
\[\Large \frac{3}{5}\times2\frac{5}{6} = \frac{17}{10}\]
Don't forget to reduce fully. Then you can convert that result into a mixed number. Let me know if you need help doing that.

Or you can think of it this way
17/10 = 1 remainder 7
the quotient of 1 is the whole part, the remainder 7 is the numerator over the 10

i need help
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
So what this all means is that \(\Large \frac{51}{30}\) is equivalent to \(\Large \frac{17}{10}\) which is equivalent to \(\Large 1\frac{7}{10}\)
All of those expressions are equivalent to the original expression.
