1) \( 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \)

Multiplying \(3\) by \(\frac{1}{2}\) is like slicing that delicious pizza into halves! If you take 3 whole pizzas and cut each one into 2 pieces, you'll end up with 6 delicious slices of pizza. So, \(3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\) or \(1.5\). Now, imagine you're sharing a piece of cake with a friend. If you decide to take half of your half, you're essentially doing more than just dividing the cake — you're maximizing enjoyment! Keep in mind that multiplying fractions can be super fun — just remember to multiply the numerators and denominators separately and you’re golden!
