Answer:

4/8

Explanation:

To do this, multiply the whole fraction by 4/4 (which is like multiplying by 1/1). So 1/2 x 4/4 becomes 4/8 :)

Answer:

3/8 i think

Explanation:

Try changing the top of the fraction to something divisible by 4, like 4 for example.

To do this, multiply the whole fraction by 4/4 (which is like multiplying by 1/1).

So 1/2 x 4/4 becomes 4/8.

if you consider each 1/8 to be 25% and 75÷3 equals 25+25+25:

So, 75% of 4/8 is 3/8.

Another quick way is to just multiply 1/2 by 3/4 (since you know 3/4 equals 75% {think 75/100 reduced is 3/4}) and you get 3/8 as well
