Hello,
The answer is:
9/3rstw or simplified to
3rstw
When multiplying fractions simply multiply each numerator and then the denominators.

if you have this:
9rs+%2A1%2F3tw+...you can write whole number as a fraction if you put 1 for denominator, so
%289rs%2F1%29+%2A%281%2F3tw%29+...multiply nominator by nominator and denominator by denominator
%289rs%2A1%29%2F%281%2A3tw%29+
%289rs%29%2F%283tw%29+...reduce
%28cross%289%293rs%29%2F%28cross%283%291tw%29+
%283rs%29%2F%28tw%29+

or, if you have this:
9rs+%2A%281%2F3%29tw+
%289rs%29%2F1+%2A%28tw%2F3%29+
%289rstw%29%2F3+
%28cross%289%29rstw%29%2Fcross%283%29+
3rstw+
