Answer: 7/2 ; or, 3 1/2 ; or, 3.5 .
________________________________________
Given: (7/3) (3/2) ; The "3's" cancel to "1's".
And we have: (7/1) (1/2) = (71) / (12) = 7/2 ; and 7/2 = 3 1/2 = 3.5.

Alternately:
________________________________________________
Given: (7/3) (3/2) ;
_________________________________________________
(7/3) (3/2) = (73) / (32) = 21/6 ; which can be simplified:
