Someone please help me. I'm stuck

what does 3/4 • 1/2 mean? (i.e. how else can it be said). Give an example of a word problem that is solved by calculating 3/4 • 1/2.

ps dont pay attention to the units theyre just there for an example

Hailey had 3/4 feet of a ribbon, she wanted to keep 1/2 of it and give 1/2 of it to her friend. How much does each person get?

The answer is 3/8
