Respuesta :

Just take base x height.

3/4 x 1/2 = 0.375 or 6/16. 

D. 6/16 is the correct answer.

Answer:

B. 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Base x Height

But first we need to determine the base of the parallelogram.

[tex]\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Now you have your base. Next we multiply by the height.

[tex]\frac{5}{8} x \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{16}[/tex]
