1.65

Explanation:

Here we can write #0.5# and #3.3# in fraction.

Whenever we have a decimal number we can convert it into a fraction by dividing it by #10,100,1000......# and so on.
The number of zeros depend on how many places you want to shift the decimal to the right.

#0.5# in fraction can be written as #5/10=1/2#

#3.3# fraction can be written as #33/10#

Now we multiply both of them.

#(1/2)xx(33/10)#

#33/20#

Now when we divide #33# by #20# we get #1.65#
