Answer: 1/4

3/8 * 2/3
(3*2)/(8*3)
Dived both 3s by each other which equals 1
So u can just ignore the 1 because any number multiplied by 1 is itself
So now you have 2/8
The LCM of 2 and 8 is 2 so divide both by 2 two
2 divided by 2 = 1
8 divided by 2 = 4
So your final answer will be 1/4 or 0.25

I hope this somewhat helped :)
