Answer:


\mathsf{(3)/(2)}

Explanation:

In order to get a product of 1, you must multiply
\mathsf{\: (2)/(3)} with another fraction that will result in the same value for the numerator and the denominator, which is its reciprocal.

In other words,
\mathsf{(2)/(3) \:*(3)/(2)\:=\:(6)/(6)\:=\:1}.

Therefore, you could multiply
\mathsf{\: (2)/(3)} by
\mathsf{(3)/(2)} to make a product of 1.
