if you want to multiply mixed numbers you need to turn them into improper fractions

[tex]3\frac{2}{3}\cdot2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3\cdot3+2}{3}\cdot\frac{2\cdot4+1}{4}=\frac{9+2}{3}\cdot\frac{8+1}{4}=\frac{11}{3}\cdot\frac{9}{4}=\frac{11}{1}\cdot\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11\cdot3}{1\cdot4}\\\center\boxed{=\frac{33}{4}=8\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
