Question

Perform the following multiplication. Be sure answers are reduced to lowest terms.

2(1/2) • 1(3/8)

Answer 1

3/8

Explanation:

umm not sure whether u gave the question as a mixed fraction or a multiplication that is in brackets but since u mentioned its a multiplication, I am going to explain it to you in those terms

you just have to multiply each part and then multiply as whole

2 multiplied by 1/2 is 1

1 multiplied by 3/8 is 3/8

once you are done with that you will have to multiply 1 with 3/8 to get your final answer which is 3/8.

If you meant to write the question in a mixed fraction let me know i can help you with that aswell if not there you go here is your answer.

Hope it helped
