Explanation:

Step1: Multiply numerators

To multiply fractions, we first multiply the numerators. So, \(3\times3 = 9\).

Step2: Multiply denominators

Next, we multiply the denominators. So, \(8\times5 = 40\).

Step3: Check for simplification

The fraction \(\frac{9}{40}\) cannot be simplified further as 9 and 40 have no common factors other than 1.
