To solve the operation ( frac{9}{5} cdot frac{8}{7} ), you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the numerators: ( 9 cdot 8 = 72 )
2. Multiply the denominators: ( 5 cdot 7 = 35 )
3. Combine the results: ( frac{72}{35} )

Since ( 72 ) and ( 35 ) have no common factors other than 1, ( frac{72}{35} ) is in its simplest form.
