Yes, turn all the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Then once they are all improper fractions multiply the numerator and denominator of all of them together. Then simplify.

2 3/4 = 11/4

1 1/8 = 9/8

3 5/6 = 23/6

Numerators: 11 x 9 x 23

Denominators: 4 x 8 x 6

Numerator total: 2277

Denominator total: 192

Your fraction answer is 2277/192

Now simplify.

That would be 11 165/192

165/192 can be simplified because they’re both divisible by 3.

55/64

Now your numbers can’t be simplified anymore.

11 55/64 is your final answer. :]

turn 2 3/4 into a proper fraction

multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator. Put that all over the denominator

2 3/4 = (4 x 2 + 3)/4 = 11/4

do this for all the other pairs

Hope this helps
