I'm unsure how this question is geometry-related. My only guess is that you are calculating the area of a triangle.
\(\frac{1}{2}*5*3\) | When multiplying fractions together, I like to put integer values over 1. |
\(\frac{1}{2}*\frac{5}{1}*\frac{3}{1}\) | Do \(\frac{1}{2}*\frac{5}{1}\) by multiplying the numerators and denominators. |
\(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{3}{1}\) | Do \(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{3}{1}\) by multiplying the numerators and denominators. |
\(\frac{15}{2}=7.5\) | |
There you go! I'm glad to help!
