To solve this problem, let's multiply the fractions $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$.

Step 1: Multiply the numerators:
$2 \times 1 = 2$

Step 2: Multiply the denominators:
$5 \times 2 = 10$

To solve this multiplication of fractions problem, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Multiply the numerators of the fractions.
• Step 2: Multiply the denominators of the fractions.
• Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.

Now, let's carry out these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators: $2 \times 1 = 2$.
Step 2: Multiply the denominators: $4 \times 2 = 8$.
Step 3: The resulting fraction is $\frac{2}{8}$. We simplify by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. So, $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{2 \div 2}{8 \div 2} = \frac{1}{4}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{1}{4}$.

When we have a multiplication of fractions, we multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator:

4*1 = 4
4*2 8

We can reduce the result, so we get:

4:4 = 1
8:4 2

And thus we arrived at the result, one half.

Similarly, we can see that the first fraction (4/4) is actually 1, because when the numerator and denominator are equal it means the fraction equals 1,
and since we know that any number multiplied by 1 remains the same number, we can conclude that the solution remains one half.

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Multiply the numerators of the fractions. The numerators are $2$ and $3$.
• Step 2: Multiply the denominators of the fractions. The denominators are $3$ and $4$.
• Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.

Now, let us perform the multiplication:

Step 1: Multiply the numerators:

$2 \times 3 = 6$

Step 2: Multiply the denominators:

$3 \times 4 = 12$

So, the product of the fractions is:

$\frac{6}{12}$

Step 3: Simplify the fraction. To simplify, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 6 and 12, which is 6. Divide both numerator and denominator by 6:

$\frac{6 \div 6}{12 \div 6} = \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the simplified product of the fractions $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4}$ is $\frac{1}{2}$.

This matches choice 4, which is $\frac{1}{2}$.
