Since you are multiplying, not dividing, the fractions wouldn't need a common denominator... They would stay the same.

(2)/(3) ×
(3)/(4)

First, you would cross simplify the equation... But, you don't have to do it now, you can do it at the end (I think this was is easiest).

(1)/(1) ×
(1)/(2)

Finally, you would answer the equation.

(1)/(1) ×
(1)/(2) =
(1)/(2)

Your answer would be
(1)/(2)
.

I hope this helps!

2/3(3/4) = 6/12, which simplifies to 1/2

1/2 is your answer

hope this helps
