For purposes of calculation, 1/2 OF something is the same as 1/2 TIMES something. Therefore, you only need to multiply 1/2 times 1 and 3/4. Here are two ways to do this:1) Convert 1 and 3/4 to a mixed fraction. Then multiply the numerators, and the denominators.

2) Remember that 1 and 3/4 means 1 + 3/4. Use the distributive property, i.e., multiply 1/2 times 1, multiply 1/2 times 3/4, and add the results.

The first method is simpler in this case, but it is convenient to know both methods, since sometimes the second method is easier.
