1/2 x 3/8 = 3/16
Just multipy the numerators (tops) and it becomes the new numerator, and multiply the denominators (bottoms) and it becomes the new denominator.
numerator: 1 x 3 = 3
denominator: 2 x 8 = 16
So, the answer is 3/16! And it's already simplified!

The fraction that represents one half of one fourth is one eighth.
Half of 5 is 2.5, and half of seven eighths is three and a half eighths. So technically, half of 5 and seven eighths is 2.5 + 3.5 eighths, which simplifies to 2.5 + 3/4, making the answer 3.25. Hope that clears things up for ya!
