Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying fractions is usually super simple.  You just multiply the top numbers and multiply the bottom numbers.  So 2/3 * 5/7 = (2*5)/(3*7) = 10/21.

Here you have mixed fractions.  For me, the easiest way is to  make them improper fractions and then multiply them.  So 2 and 3/4 becomes 11/4 and 1 and 13/20 becomes 33/20.  Let me know if you don't get that.

Anyway, if we make the unknown fraction x we can rewrite this as an algebraic equation.

(11/4)x = 33/20  Now just multiply both sides by 4 and divide both sides by 11 and you will get

x = 3/5

Again, let me know if there's something you don't understand.
