First, you multiply each term in the parentheses by 1/2.

For the first term:
1/2 * 6e = 3e

Then, you continue on with the second term:
1/2 * (-3f) = -1.5f

Finally, for the last term:
1/2 * (-3/4) = -0.375

So, when you put all of these parts together, the original expression simplifies to:
3e - 1.5f - 0.375.

And that's the final equivalent expression for 1/2(6e - 3f - 3/4).
