Ms. Beverly used the inverse property to write the expression below:

2/3 × 3/2

What is the product of the expression that Ms. Beverly wrote?

To solve the expression \( \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} \), we can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the numerators: \( 2 \times 3 = 6 \)
2. Multiply the denominators: \( 3 \times 2 = 6 \)
   
The product is:
\[
\frac{6}{6} = 1
\]

Thus, the product of the expression is **1**.
