$9/64$

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

$(3*3)/(8*8)=9/64$

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

$(3/8)^2$ , which simplifies to

$(3^2)/(8^2)=9/64$

Hope this helps!
