Explanation:
The coefficient of a variable is a constant value that occurs with a term. In the given question, the term is $\frac{x}{2}$.
We can easily make out that x is the variable here. The constant value occurring with the variable is $\frac{1}{2}$ and hence, this is the coefficient of the given term $\to \frac{x}{2}$
term $\to \frac{x}{2}$
variable $\to x$
the coefficient of the variable $\to \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{1}{2}$

It is usually an integer that is multiplied by the variable and written next to it. The variables which do not have a number with them are assumed to be having 1 as their coefficient.
For example, in the expression 3x, 3 is the coefficient of x but in the expression ${x}^{2}+3$, 1 is the coefficient of ${x}^{2}$.
