A. 4 3/8 B. 3 1 / 8
C. 3 1/16
D. 2 7/16

​

Answer 1

D. 2 7/16

Explanation:

convert 3 1/4 to an improper fraction, which would give us 13/4.

now we first multiply 1/2 with 13/4:

1/2 x 13/4 = 13/8

then we also convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction, and we will be getting 3/2.

So:

3/2 x 13/8 = 2 7/16

we get the final answer of 2 7/16! :)
