To multiply mixed numbers, we multiply the whole numbers together and the fractions together. Then we add the products. $$1 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \times 2 \frac { 1 } { 5 }=\left( 1\times2 \right) + \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \times \frac { 1 } { 5 } \right) =2 + \frac { 1 } { 15 }=\boxed{2 \frac { 14 } { 15 }}$$
