Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: Think of the 2 in this problem as 2/1.

So we have 2/1 x 3/8 and notice that we can

cross-cancel the 2 and 8 to 1 and 4.

Multiplying across the numerators and denominators, we have 3/4.

When multiplying two fractions together,

always try to cross-cancel before multiplying if possible.
