Respuesta :

8 x 1 = 8
8 x 1/2 = 4
8+4 =12
therefore, 8 x 1 1/2 = 12
8(11/2) It would make it easier to multiply if you made it
 [tex] \frac{8}{1} * \frac{11}{2} [/tex]
Then multiply across
[tex] \frac{8*11}{1*2} = \frac{88}{2} [/tex]

Finally, simplify.
[tex] \frac{88/2}{2/2} =88/2=44 [/tex]
Final answer is 44
