Question

1 1/2 x 1/2 = ? help me por favor <3

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break it down

1 1/2 is a mixed number

How do we find the fraction form of mixed numbers?

We multiply the denomiator of the fraction part with the integer part and add the current number on the numerator to get your new numerator. The denomiator stays the same.

So in the case of 1 1/2, our new numerator is 2 x 1 + 1 = 3.

Thus, the fraction version is 3/2. Now we need to mulitply this by 1/2

3/2 x 1/2. We just have to multiply the numerator and demoniator

3 x 1 is our numerator

2 x 2 is our denomiator

3/4 cannot be simplified because the numerator and denomiator are both relatively prime (numerator is not divisible by denomiator and vice versa)
