You also should simplify the product.


{{{(3/8)(8/9)}}}


{{{(3*8)/(8*9)=24/72}}}-----see note below.


{{{(3*8)/(8*3*3)}}}


{{{(cross(3*8))/(cross(8*3)*3)}}}



{{{highlight(1/3)}}}-----Simplified, reduced.




NOTE:
A fraction as a factor has two parts.
The numerator is a FACTOR and any denominators are DIVISORS.
A step of instruction should have been delivered for which you learned these things in sequence so as to not be confused  (or to be as little confused as possible).</PRE>
