The multiplication of fractions starts with the multiplication of the given numerators, followed by the multiplication of the denominators.

Answer: Half of 1½ is 3/4 as a fraction.

Let us find the half of 1½

Explanation:

We can write half of 1½ as (1/2) of (3/2) or (1/2)  × (3/2)

To multiply the given fractions we use the following steps:

1. Multiply the numerators.
2. Multiply the denominators.
3. Reduce the resultant fraction to its lowest terms.

Now, (1/2) × (3/2) = (1 × 3) / (2 × 2) = 3/4
