Step 1
Given that
Age of Gabe

= 1 \frac{1}{2}

this can be written as improper fraction

1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 2 + 1}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}

He has spent

\frac{2}{3}

of his life sleeping or crying.
Step 2
So the time spend by Gabe either crying or sleeping is

1 \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}

= \frac{6}{6}

= 1

So Gabe spent his 1 year of his life either crying or sleeping.
