How?
We have
\(\dfrac{3}{8} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = ?\)
We have to multiply the numerators together
What is 3 * 1 = ?
And then we multiply the denominators with each other
What is 8 * 2 = ?
AZ:
Remember in fractions
\(\dfrac{\text{numerator}}{\text{denominator}}\)
the numerator is the number on top
the denominator is the number on the bottom in the fraction

So for your question
We have
\(\dfrac{3}{8} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = ?\)
Which is equal to \(\dfrac{3\times 1}{8 \times 2} = \dfrac{??}{??}\)

no

unless you meant 3/8 * 1/2
because it's not 38
it's 3 over 8

No...
Let's try again
What is 3 * 1 = ?
And what is 8 * 2 = ?

Exactly! So the way you write it is just like this

Lets do for example.
7/8 * 3/4
it is 21/32, because you multiply the numberators (7 and 3) which is 21, and then the denominators 8 and 4, which is 32. You could simplify it to a smaller fraction, but it is just an example.

And what does 3/16 mean?
It means if you had a pie
and you cut it into 16 slices, then you would have 3 of those pieces

Now take a look at your answer choices
What's your final answer?
