① | Cancel $ \color{blue}{ 3 } $ in first and second fraction. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Cancel down by $ \color{blue}{2} $ $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{8} \cdot \frac{2}{3} & = \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{8} \cdot \frac{2}{\color{blue}{1}} = \frac{2 : \color{blue}{2}}{8 : \color{blue}{2}} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{1}{4} \end{aligned} $$ |
