To calculate half of 1.5 tablespoons, there are a number of ways to figure this out.

First off, I'm going to figure the mathematical way, then I will figure the measurements way, because the question is a bit vague.

Mathematically, first off, convert half into a decimal equivalent, since you already have one number in decimal form.

One half can be converted by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 1/2 = 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5.

So, we now have one-half converted into 0.5. Now what you need to do, is take 0.5 and multiply it into 1.5. Therefore 0.5 x 1.5 = 0.75. The reason you multiply is because, remember the math rule with dividing fractions (and integers which are less than 1 are a form of fractions), you need to "invert and multiply." That is why you multiply in this situation.

********************

Now, if you are asking about measurements, what 1/2 of 1 1/2 Tbsp is equal to, you will need to know some conversions. Since you need a smaller amount than a Tablespoon, go to the next smaller measurement, and that would be a teaspoon.

So, there are 3 tsp (teaspoon) in 1 Tbsp (tablespoon). Therefore you have 1.5 Tbsp = 4.5 tsp. (multiply 1.5 and 3.0 = 4.5tsp). Now, you still need to know what half 1.5 tbsp is equal to. We have already converted 1.5 Tsp = 4.5 tsp. Therefore, multiply 4.5tsp by 0.5 = 2.25 tsp. (knowing that 0.5 = 1/2 or one half).
