69/50

Explanation:

Assuming you meant (3(46))/(2(50))

Let's split the fraction into two.
3/50xx46/2

You can simplify the one on the right because they are both even numbers. \color(red)(6\div2=23).

Therefore
3/50xx\color(red)(46/2)\rArr3/50xx\color(red)23

Now we have a simpler expression overall. \color(green)(23xx3=69)
So you get (\color(green)(23xx3))/(50)\rarr\color(green)(69)/50
