To multiply the fractions \( \frac{3}{8} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. 1. Multiply the numerators: \( 3 \times 1 = 3 \) 2. Multiply the denominators: \( 8 \times 2 = 16 \) So, \[ \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{16} \] Thus, the answer in the form \([?]/[?]\) is \( \frac{3}{16} \).

3/8 x 1/2 = [?]/[?]

To multiply the fractions \( \frac{3}{8} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

Multiply the numerators: \( 3 \times 1 = 3 \)
Multiply the denominators: \( 8 \times 2 = 16 \)

So,

\[ \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{16} \]

Thus, the answer in the form \([?]/[?]\) is \( \frac{3}{16} \).
