Do you mean this?
6 \frac25 \times z = 7\frac19?
An easy way to confuse you the least is to first convert these fractions into improper fractions.
\frac{32}{5} \times z = \frac{64}{9}
Then, multiply both sides by 5.
\frac{32}{5} \times z \times 5= \frac{64}{9}\times 5
32z = \frac{320}{9}
Divide both sides by 32;
\frac{32z}{32} = \frac{320}{9} \times \frac{1}{32}
z = \frac{10}{9}
Now, you may wish to conver the fraction into a proper fraction:
z = 1\frac{1}{9}
I hope it helped! :)
