Hey, I'm Steel42 and I am here to help you today :)

This is false, 7/8 x 1/2 = 7/16 because you multiply the numerators: 7 x 1 = 7 and multiply the denominators: 8 x 2 = 16. So the answer is 7/16 not 7/2. Plus, 7/2 is a improper fraction.


Hope this helps

Ana is false. The answer is 7/16 because 7*1=7 and 8*2=16
