Answer 1

To find the product of \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) and \( \frac{3}{8} \), we first convert the mixed number \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) into an improper fraction.

1. Convert \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \):
\[
1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \cdot 1 + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}
\]

2. Now we find the product:
\[
\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{4 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 8} = \frac{12}{24}
\]

3. Simplify the fraction \( \frac{12}{24} \):
\[
\frac{12 \div 12}{24 \div 12} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, the product of \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) and \( \frac{3}{8} \) is \( \frac{1}{2} \).

The answer in simplest form is:

**one-half**
