Question

Multiply. Express in simplest form. 3/8 x 1/2

Answer 1

the answer is 3/16.

Explanation:

First, let's take a look at the expression itself.

We have to multiply 3/8 and 1/2, which gives us the expression of

3/8*1/2

then, we multiply the numerator by the numerator and get 3, then we multiply the denominator by the other denominator which gets us 16. We put the two parts together and get

3/16

which is not simplifiable. So 3/16 is the simplest answer we can get.
