Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{4} \) (which can also be written as \( 1.5 \times 0.5 \) or simplified further), we first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

1. Convert \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \) into an improper fraction:
\[
1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

2. The fraction \( \frac{2}{4} \) simplifies to:
\[
\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

3. Now we multiply them together:
\[
\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 \times 1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{3}{4}
\]

So, the value of the equation \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{4} \) is \( \frac{3}{4} \).

From the options given, the correct responses based on the multiplication result would be:

- **34 (3 fourths)**

Thus, the only applicable response is \( \frac{3}{4} \) or **34 (3 fourths)**.
