The question is asking you to perform the operation of multiplying fractions. Specifically, Jake wants to give Josh 1/2 of what he has, and he has 1/2 of a candy bar.

\[
\text{Amount given to Josh} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}
\]
After performing the multiplication, you can simplify the result to determine how much of the candy bar is being given to Josh.
