Given that \(*x\) is defined as the square of one-half of x and we need to find the value of \(\frac{*5}{*3}\)
=> *x = \((\frac{x}{2})^2\) = \(\frac{x^2}{4}\)

Now to find the value of \(\frac{*5}{*3}\), we need to find the value of *5 and *3

To find the value of *5 we need to compare *5 and *x
=> x can be substituted as 5 in *x = \(\frac{x^2}{4}\)
=> *5 = \(\frac{5^2}{4}\) = \(\frac{25}{4}\)

To find the value of *3 we need to compare *3 and *x
=> x can be substituted as 3 in *x = \(\frac{x^2}{4}\)
=> *3 = \(\frac{3^2}{4}\) = \(\frac{9}{4}\)

=> \(\frac{*5}{*3}\) = (\(\frac{25}{4}\)) / (\(\frac{9}{4}\))
= \(\frac{25}{4}\) * \(\frac{4}{9}\)
= \(\frac{25}{9}\)

So, Answer will be \(\frac{25}{9}\)
Hope it helps!
