Answer:
(11)/(8)

Explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across (numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator). First, we will turn the first fraction into an improper fraction.


\displaystyle 2(3)/(4) =((2*4)+3)/(4) =(11)/(4)

Now, we can multiply.


\displaystyle (11)/(4) *(1)/(2) =(11*1)/(4*2) =(11)/(8)
