3/1•1/2•4/3

2

Steps:

• Method 1 (direct): (3/1) * (1/2) * (4/3) = (314) / (123) = 12/6 = 2
• Method 2 (cancel before multiplying): (3/1)(1/2)(4/3) → cancel 3 with 3 → (1/1)(1/2)(4/1) = 4/2 = 2

Tip: cancel common factors across any numerators and denominators before multiplying to keep numbers small.
