To multiply 2/5 by 3/4, we multiply the numerators (2 * 3) to get 6 and multiply the denominators (5 * 4) to get 20.

So, 2/5 times 3/4 is 6/20.

To reduce this to the simplest form, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

Dividing 6 by 2, we get 3 and dividing 20 by 2, we get 10.

Therefore, 6/20 in simplest form is 3/10.

So, the answer is three-tenths.
