Five and 3/4 is equivalent to 23 / 4
Eight and 1/2 is equivalent to 17 /2
Now you can multiply 23 / 4 * 17 / 2
Multiply the numerators and the denominators to get 391 / 8 which is 48 7/8

5 3/4 * 8 1/2
23/4 * 17/2
// multiplying fractions you can multiply directly across, or cross divide. (in this case there is nothing to cross divide)
(23 * 17) / (2 * 4)
391/8 = 48 7/8 = 48.875
// you can also change them into decimal to start off. and go that route... 5.75 * 8.5 = 48.875
