Remark
Some calculators will give you the answer directly without any intermediate steps. Just a b/c key and the * key. Having done that the answer is 2/17
Solution
Doing this by hand can be a bit of trouble. I think the easiest way is to multiply the first and third together and then worry about the middle one.
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}*\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{2*1}{3*4}=\dfrac{2}{12}=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
now just multiply your answer from the above job with the middle fraction.
[tex]\dfrac{1}{6}*\dfrac{12}{17} =\dfrac{1*12}{6*17}=\dfrac{2}{17}[/tex]
because 12 ÷ 6 = 2
