Answer 1

To find the product of \(\frac{3}{8}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\), we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[
\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 2}{8 \times 3} = \frac{6}{24}
\]

Now we simplify \(\frac{6}{24}\):

Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 6:

\[
\frac{6 \div 6}{24 \div 6} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

Thus, the product of three-eighths times two-thirds in simplest form is:

\[
\frac{1}{4}
\]
