A yard is three feet, and a foot is twelve inches. Multiply twelve by three and you get forty-eight. Half of three is one and a half, so that would be eighteen inches. Add eighteen and forty-eight is sixty-six. One yard is forty-eight inches, and one and a half feet is eighteen inches. Thus, a one and a half yard is sixty-six inches.
To divide one half by three eighths, you can multiply by the reciprocal of three eighths. This means you multiply one half (1/2) by eight thirds (8/3). The calculation is (1/2) × (8/3) = 8/6, which simplifies to 4/3 or one and one third.
...but if you multiply a whole number by a half the result decreases. Half of anything is less than that thing!
