Answer: 7/2 ; or, 3 1/2 ; or, 3.5 .
________________________________________
Given: (7/3) * (3/2) ; The "3's" cancel to "1's".

And we have: (7/1) * (1/2) = (7*1) / (1*2) = 7/2 ; and 7/2 = 3 1/2 = 3.5.
_________________________________________________
Alternately:
________________________________________________
Given: (7/3) * (3/2) ;
_________________________________________________
(7/3) * (3/2) = (7*3) / (3*2) = 21/6 ; which can be simplified:
__________________________________________________
21/6 = (21÷3) / (6÷3) = 7/2 ; and 7/2 = 3 1/2 = 3.5 .
