In the image, I can see the following integral problem written on the board:

\[
\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sqrt{\sin{x}} \cdot \cos{x} \, dx
\]

Let's solve this step by step.

### Step 1: Substitution
We will use the substitution method to simplify the integral. Set:
\[
u = \sin{x}
\]
Thus, \( du = \cos{x} \, dx \).

### Step 2: Adjust Limits of Integration
When \( x = 0 \), \( u = \sin{0} = 0 \).
When \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \), \( u = \sin{\frac{\pi}{2}} = 1 \).

### Step 3: Rewrite the Integral
Substitute \( u \) into the integral:
\[
\int_0^{1} \sqrt{u} \, du
\]

### Step 4: Evaluate the Integral
The integral of \( \sqrt{u} \) is:
\[
\int \sqrt{u} \, du = \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2}
\]

### Step 5: Apply Limits of Integration
Now, evaluate this from 0 to 1:
\[
\left[ \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} \right]_0^1 = \frac{2}{3} (1^{3/2} - 0^{3/2}) = \frac{2}{3}
\]

Thus, the value of the integral is \( \frac{2}{3} \).
