Answer:

2/7

Explanation:

Since multiplication fractions is just multiplying all numerators together and all denominators together, we can group all these fractions together into one big fraction as they are all being multiplied together:

(2x3x4x5x6x)/(3x4x5x6x7)

Because each term is being multiplied together, if it also appears in the denominator, they will cancel each other out (as x multiplied by y and then divided by y is just x as the ys cancel each other out)

Therefore we are just left with 2/7.

Hope this helped!
