Answer 1

multiply the whole numbers as usual. then find the gcf and divide for how many times the denominator can go into the gcf. gcf for 1/5 and 2/3 is 15 but Idk how to deal with the numerator.

Answer 2

Here is your answer:

First, change the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

$5\frac{1}{5} \neq \frac{26}{5}$

$2\frac{2}{3} \neq \frac{8}{3}$

Now multiply:

$\frac{26}{5} \times\frac{8}{3} =\frac{208}{15}$

Then turn the improper fraction into a mixed number:

$\frac{208}{15} =13\frac{13}{15}$

Therefore your answer is "13 13/15!"

Hope this helps!
