I assume you are asking one of three things, so I will answer all of them.
if you are asking what is 1/2 of 312, then multiply 312 by 1/2. 312 is really just 312/1, so
we multiply fractions by multiplying straight across
if you were asking what part of 3 1/2 is 1/2 then we have to recognize what 3 1/2 is as an improper fraction. to do this, we convert 3 into halves. how many halves of pizza are there in 3 whole pizzas? 6. so we have 6 halves and one half, which is a total of 7 halves.
now, we do the same thing as the first problem
if you were asking what is half of 3.12, then we convert 1/2 to a decimal and multiply

Given rational expression is
Now we need to find the restricted values if any for this rational expression.
Restricted values means the possible values of the used variable (x) that will make denominator 0 as division by 0 is not defined.
So to find the restricted values, we just set denominator equal to 0 and solve for x
2x=0 or 4x+1=0
x=0 or 4x=-1
x=0 or x=-1/4
Hence final answer is x=0, -1/4
