Answer

$\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For any integer $k$, $\sin{\theta} = \sin{(\theta+180^ok)}$. We know that $\sin$ has a period of $360^o$, hence first we try and find a value where the argument is between $0^{o}$ and $360^{o}$. Therefore, using the property above gives: $\sin(390^{o}) \\=\sin{(30^o+360^o)} \\=\sin{(30^{o}+180^o\cdot2)} \\=\sin{30^o} \\=\frac{1}{2}$
