d. \( \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{9}{8}=\quad \) e. \( \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{9}{8}= \)

**d.** Compute \[ \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{9}{8} \] 1. Multiply the numerators: \[ 5 \times 9 = 45 \] 2. Multiply the denominators: \[ 4 \times 8 = 32 \] 3. The product is: \[ \frac{45}{32} \] --- **e.** Compute \[ \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{9}{8} \] 1. Multiply the numerators: \[ 6 \times 9 = 54 \] 2. Multiply the denominators: \[ 5 \times 8 = 40 \] 3. The product is: \[ \frac{54}{40} \] 4. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor \(2\): \[ \frac{54 \div 2}{40 \div 2} = \frac{27}{20} \] --- Final answers: \[ \text{d. } \frac{45}{32} \quad \text{and} \quad \text{e. } \frac{27}{20} \]
