$(a) 3\times 5\frac{1}{5}$

On Multiplying, we get

$\Rightarrow 3\times\frac{5\times5+1}{5}=3\times\frac{26}{5}=\frac{3\times26}{5}=\frac{78}{5}$

Converting This into Mixed Fraction,

$\Rightarrow \frac{78}{5}=\frac{75+3}{5}=\frac{75}{5}+\frac{3}{5}=15+\frac{3}{5}=15\frac{3}{5}$

$(b) 5\times 6\frac{3}{4}$

On Multiplying, we get

$\Rightarrow 5\times\frac{6\times4+3}{4}=5\times\frac{27}{4}=\frac{5\times27}{4}=\frac{135}{4}$

Converting This into Mixed Fraction,

$\Rightarrow \frac{135}{4}=\frac{132+3}{4}=\frac{132}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=33+\frac{3}{4}=33\frac{3}{4}$

$(c) 7\times 2\frac{1}{4}$

On multiplying, we get

$7\times 2\frac{1}{4}=7\times \frac{4\times2+1}{4}=7\times\frac{9}{4}=\frac{7\times9}{4}=\frac{63}{4}$

Converting it into a mixed fraction, we get

$\frac{63}{4}=\frac{60+3}{4}=\frac{60}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=15+\frac{3}{4}=15\frac{3}{4}$

$(d) 4\times 6\frac{1}{3}$

On multiplying, we get

$4\times 6\frac{1}{3}=4\times\frac{3\times6+1}{3}=4\times\frac{19}{3}=\frac{4\times 19}{3}=\frac{76}{3}$

Converting it into a mixed fraction,

$\frac{76}{3}=\frac{75+1}{3}=\frac{75}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=25+\frac{1}{3}=25\frac{1}{3}$

$(e) 3\frac{1}{4}\times 6$

Multiplying them, we get

$3\frac{1}{4}\times 6=\frac{4\times3+1}{4}\times6=\frac{13}{4}\times6=\frac{13\times6}{4}=\frac{78}{4}$

Now, converting the result fraction we got to mixed fraction,

$\frac{78}{4}=\frac{76+2}{4}=\frac{76}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=19+\frac{1}{2}=19\frac{1}{2}$

$(f) 3\frac{2}{5}\times 8$

On multiplying, we get

$3\frac{2}{5}\times 8=\frac{5\times3+2}{5}\times8=\frac{17}{5}\times8=\frac{17\times8}{5}=\frac{136}{5}$

Converting this into a mixed fraction, we get

$\frac{136}{5}=\frac{135+1}{5}=\frac{135}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=27+\frac{1}{5}=27\frac{1}{5}$
