=

In conclusion, there are  fans in the bleachers at the football game that are 7/8 full

Answer: Our required fraction would be [tex]\dfrac{7}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of the bleachers at the football game = [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex]

Part of the fans in the bleachers are rooting for the home team = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, fraction of the bleachers are filled with home team fans is given by

[tex]\dfrac{7}{8}\times \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{8\times 2}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{16}[/tex]

Hence, Our required fraction would be [tex]\dfrac{7}{16}[/tex]
