As we know in the multiplication of fractions, the numerator is multiplied with numerator and denominator is multiplied by the denominator.

So,

$\\(i) \; \frac{2}{5}\times 5\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{21}{4}=\frac{2\times21}{5\times4}=\frac{42}{20}=\frac{21}{10}=2\frac{1}{10}\; \; \; \;\\ \\(ii)\; 6\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{7}{9}=\frac{32}{5}\times\frac{7}{9}=\frac{32\times7}{5\times9}=\frac{224}{45}=4\frac{44}{45}\; \; \; \; \; \\\\(iii) \frac{3}{2}\times 5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{16}{3}=\frac{3\times16}{2\times3}=\frac{48}{6}=8$

$\\(iv) \; \frac{5}{6}\times 2\frac{3}{7}=\frac{5}{6}\times\frac{17}{7}=\frac{5\times17}{6\times7}=\frac{85}{42}=2\frac{1}{42}\; \; \; \; \\\\(v)\; 3\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}=\frac{17}{5}\times\frac{4}{7}=\frac{17\times4}{5\times7}=\frac{68}{35}=1\frac{33}{35}\; \; \; \; \; \\\\(vi) 2\frac{3}{5}\times 3=\frac{13}{5}\times3=\frac{13\times3}{5}=\frac{39}{5}=7\frac{4}{5}\; \; \; \;\\\\ (vii)3\frac{4}{7}\times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{25}{7}\times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{25\times3}{7\times5}=\frac{75}{35}=\frac{15}{7}=2\frac{1}{7}$
