Answer: Yes.

Step-by-step explanation: 3/8 and 1 1/2 of a fourth are equivalent amounts. To see why, you can use a common denominator to compare the two fractions. If we convert both fractions to eighths, then 3/8 becomes 3/8 and 1 1/2 of a fourth becomes 6/8. Since 3/8 and 6/8 are both equal to 3/4, it follows that 3/8 and 1 1/2 of a fourth are also equal.
