The problem in the image asks you to multiply the mixed numbers \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \) and \( 2 \frac{1}{2} \), and then express the answer as a mixed number in its simplest form.

Let's break it down step by step:

### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- \( 1 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \) (since \( 1 \times 4 + 1 = 5 \)).
- \( 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \) (since \( 2 \times 2 + 1 = 5 \)).

### Step 2: Multiply the improper fractions.
\[
\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{25}{8}
\]

### Step 3: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number.
\[
\frac{25}{8} = 3 \frac{1}{8}
\]

### Final Answer:
The product of \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \) and \( 2 \frac{1}{2} \) is \( 3 \frac{1}{8} \).

Let me know if you want more details or if you have any questions! Here are some related problems:

1. Multiply \( 1 \frac{2}{3} \times 3 \frac{1}{4} \).
2. Multiply \( 2 \frac{1}{5} \times 1 \frac{3}{7} \) and simplify.
3. Divide \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \div 2 \frac{1}{2} \).
4. Add \( 1 \frac{1}{4} + 2 \frac{1}{2} \).
5. Subtract \( 2 \frac{1}{2} - 1 \frac{1}{4} \).

**Tip**: When multiplying mixed numbers, always convert them to improper fractions first for an easier solution.
