You are having trouble because the answer is not 4 7/8.

If you had to use eighths for some reason, 4 4/8 is closest answer. It can only be corectly expressed as a decimal or in terms of 128ths.

Quoted:
1 3/8 X 3 5/16

=

4 7/8?????

HELP.

(1*8 + 3)/8 * (3*16 + 5)/16

11/8 * 53/16

(11*53)/(8*16)

583/128

4 71/128
