To calculate the cost of Jason's half page ad, we first need to determine the area of a half page.
Since each page of the magazine measures 9 inches by 12 inches, a full page has an area of 9 inches * 12 inches = 108 square inches.
A half page would have half of that area, so the area of a half page is 108 square inches / 2 = 54 square inches.
Now, since Math Magazine charges $8 per square inch for advertising, we can multiply the area of the half page by the cost per square inch to find the total cost.
54 square inches * $8 per square inch = $432.
Therefore, Jason will have to pay $432 for his half page ad.
