When you multiply fractions the numerators multiply and the denominators multiply. So if I had 1/3 x 3/4 I would get 3/12, which simplifies to 1/4.
You first need to convert your mixed fractions to improper fractions. So for your first problem, 2 1/2 would convert to 5/2 and 3 2/5 would convert to 17/5. You can do this by multiplyig the denominator by the integer and then adding the numerator.
After converting, simply multiply the fractions as I did above and simplify. To continue with your first problem:
5/2 x 17/5 = 85/10
Simplifies to 8 5/10
Simplifies again to 8 1/2
For the last two problems, remember that any whole number is simply itself over one in fraction form. So the number four in fraction form is 4/1.
Good luck with your homework!

let me do just one. do your home work.
2 2/3 x 4 1/4 = (2x3+2) x (4x4+1) = 8 x 17 = 2 x 17 = 34 = 11 1/3
--------- --------- --- --- --- --- ---
3 4 3 4 3 1 3
** note 8 is divisive by 4, making 2.
