$\frac{10}{3}$ $10/3$ or $3 \frac{1}{3}$ $3 1/3$

When you multiply fractions, all you need to do is multiply across, in both the numerator and the denominator.

In this problem we are given:

$\frac{14}{3} \cdot \frac{5}{7}$ $14/3 * 5/7$

This becomes:

$\frac{14 (5)}{3 (7)}$ $(14(5))/(3(7))$

$\Rightarrow \frac{70}{21}$ $=>70/21$

From here, all we have to do is simplify:

$\frac{70}{21} \Rightarrow \frac{10}{3}$ $70/21 => 10/3$ or $3 \frac{1}{3}$ $3 1/3$
