Multiplying two mixed numbers:
• Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction.
• Multiply the two numerators together.

Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction.	50/8   *   32/9
Multiply the two numerators together.	50 * 32 = 1600
Multiply the two denominators together.	8 * 9 = 72
Convert the result to a mixed number.	1600/72 = 22   16/72
Simplify the mixed number.	22  2/9
