80 proof means 40% alcohol by volume. So:
How much alcohol (by volume) do you have in 1.5 flOz of 80 proof Vodka?
Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

To be honest I really have no clue where to start. I was going to just have someone explain to me how to work this out.

40% of the 1.5 fl oz of Vodka is pure alcohol. % means divide by 100, of means to multiply and is means equal to.
So translate 40% of the 1.5 fl oz of Vodka is pure alcohol into an equation. Hint: replace the 1.5 fl oz of Vodka with 1.5

Okay this one for free..
Amount of alcohol in 1.5 fl/oz 80 proof Vodka = 1.5 * 0.4 = 0.6 flOz
so we have 0.6 flOz of alcohol in 12 floz of drink → the drink contains (0.6/12 * 100% =) 5% (alcohol by volume).
