Answer:

3/16

Explanation:

start by converting 1 1/2 to an improper fraction by multiplying the 1 by the denomerator and then adding the 1 from teh numerator. Then place that all over the denomantor two. so you get 3/2

then set up your equation:

3/2 x 1/8

you do the resipricol of one of the numbers so instead of 8/1 we do 1/8

3 times 1= 3

2 times 8 is 16

3/16 does not simplify so thats your answer
