Turn them both into improper fractions:

1 and 3/5 becomes 8/5 (1*5 + 3)

and 2 and 3/8 becomes 19/8 (2*8 + 3)

(8/5) * (19/8) becomes 19/5 because the 8s in the numerator and denominator cancel when multiplying.

19/5 simplifies to 3 and 4/5.
[tex]1 \dfrac{3}{5} \times 2\dfrac{3}{8} [/tex]

Change to improper fractions:
[tex]= \dfrac{8}{5} \times \dfrac{19}{8} [/tex]

The "8" in the numerator and the "8" in denominator cancel each other:
[tex]= \dfrac{19}{5}[/tex]

Change to mixed number:
[tex]= 3\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]
