To simplify the expression \( \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{9} \), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\[
\frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 9} = \frac{6}{45}
\]

Next, we can simplify \( \frac{6}{45} \) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 6 and 45, which is 3.

Now, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3:

\[
\frac{6 \div 3}{45 \div 3} = \frac{2}{15}
\]

So the simplified result is:

\[
\frac{2}{15}
\]
