Answer:

\(\frac{3}{8}\) Of the sports books are basquetball books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only thing that you have to do in this case is to multiply the different franctions that you have, half of the books on the shelf are sports, and \(\frac{3}{4}\) of those are basquetball, so you will have:

\(\frac{3}{4}\) "Basquetball books" * \(\frac{1}{2}\) Books on sports=\(\frac{3}{8}\) Total basquetball books on the shelf.
