I usually work out the answer and $$then$$ make the answer choices. When you multiply fractions: 1. Cancel factors if possible, 2. multiply numerators 3. multiply denominators 4. Simplify if necessary

Example: Multiply $$\Large \frac{5}{4}\times\frac{6}{7}$$ 1. Cancel factors if possible, $$\Large \frac{5}{2}\times\frac{3}{7}$$ 2. multiply numerators $$\Large \frac{15}{2\times 7}$$ 3. multiply denominators$$\Large \frac{15}{14}$$ 4. Simplify if necessary - nothing to simplify so answer: $$\Large \frac{15}{14}$$ You can use the same steps for the given problem.

BTW, I think the 5' s in the answer choices mean "s".

i will circle the 5's and the rest are the s's okay!! @mathmate

Anyway, I am not concerned about the question nor the answer choices. If you followed the above procedure, you should find a correct answer.
