$\frac{9}{64}$ $9/64$

When we multiply fractions, we multiply straight across. We get

$\frac{3 \cdot 3}{8 \cdot 8} = \frac{9}{64}$ $(3*3)/(8*8)=9/64$

Alternatively, we can realize from the start we are multiplying the same thing, which is the same as squaring it.

The given expression can be written as

${(\frac{3}{8})}^{2}$ $(3/8)^2$ , which simplifies to

$\frac{3^{2}}{8^{2}} = \frac{9}{64}$ $(3^2)/(8^2)=9/64$

Hope this helps!
