When you multiply fractions with simple integers like these, all you need to do is multiply all the numerators (3*4*3), and all the denominators (8*9*4). Then write their results in a fraction.

%283%2F8%29%2A%284%2F9%29%2A%283%2F4%29
36%2F288
Can you simplify this fraction? Yes. If you are unsure what number to use to simplify and both are even numbers, I'd start with 2. So, 36%2F2=13 and 288%2F2=144. We can now say: 13%2F144. You may leave it as that or, if your professor wants, we can use a calculator and express the answer in decimals. In which case it would be 0.125
