To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
First, we will convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
2 1/2 = 5/21 7/17 = 24/17
Now we have:
(5/2) x (24/17) x (7/12)
Multiplying the numerators:5 x 24 x 7 = 840
Multiplying the denominators:2 x 17 x 12 = 408
Therefore, the result is 840/408.
To simplify, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 12:
840 ÷ 12 = 70408 ÷ 12 = 34
So, the simplified fraction is 70/34.
