(1)/(8) * (1)/(2) =(1 * 1)/(8* 2) =\boxed{\bf{(1)/(16)}}

The answer is 1/16.

When it comes to fractions, it's quite simple! If you can multiply, you can do this!
Simply write the the top number over the bottom so it looks normal. Multiply straight across. 1x1 is 1, and 8x2 is 16. Don't do anything else! It's 1 over 16 OR 1/16
