Answer:
[tex]-1\frac{13}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's put our equation to get started
[tex]-3\frac{5}{8}\cdot\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We can make this an improper fraction by multiplying the integer with the denominator.
Then you would add the total you got with multiplying the total that you got from the whole number and the denominator
[tex]-\frac{29}{8} \cdot\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Now we can solve it
[tex]-29\cdot1=-29[/tex]
[tex]8\cdot2=16[/tex]
Now our equation is
[tex]-\frac{29}{16}[/tex]
Definition - reduction refers to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form. For example, the process of rewriting a fraction into one with the smallest whole-number denominator possible
Once we've reduced we will have our equation being
[tex]-1\frac{13}{16}[/tex]
