Answer: 5/8

Step-by-step explanation: When multiplying two fractions together, always try to cross-cancel if possible as your first step.

In this problem the 3 and 6 reduce to 1 and 2.

Next we simply multiply across the numerators and multiply across the denominators and we have our answer which is 5/8.
