Reduce first:
3/4 * 1/2 * 2/3
Write them side by side and cross simplify
You can cross out the 3's and write 1's and you can cross out the 2's and write 1's
Now you are left with
1*1*1/4*1*1=1/4
3/4 * 1/2 * 2/3
Write them side by side and cross simplify
You can cross out the 3's and write 1's and you can cross out the 2's and write 1's
Now you are left with
1*1*1/4*1*1=1/4
