Answer:

three halves

Explanation:

Multiple: 1/2 * 3 = 1 · 3/2 · 1 = 3/2

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(3, 2) = 1. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - one half multiplied by three = three halfs.
