Multiply the numbers at the top of the fractions. Multiply the numbers at the bottom of the fractions. Write these new numbers as a fraction.

So, for example, 1/2 * 2/3 = (1 * 2) / (2 * 3) = 2/6

Now it may be possible to simplify the new fraction. Here 2/6 simplifies to 1/3 (both numbers are evenly divisible by 2).

Another example:

2/5 * 3/4 * 7/8 = (2 * 3 * 7) / (5 * 4 * 8) = 42/160 = 21/80
