First of all, it would help if you said what your actual trouble is.

The "return :: f" bit here doesn't make any sense:

* :: is used in type signatures, not as an operator in code; you
shouldn't need it (assuming your definition of f below is meant to be
there).

> tipos :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Float
> tipos a b c
> f = b / a * c

Your definition of tipos isn't complete... what you've actually
defined is a new top-level value `f' (which is of type Fractional a =>
a).  You need to actually have "tipos a b c" _equal_ something.

Now, if you want to calculate "b/a*c" for inputs a, b and c, try
something like this:

import System.Environment(getArgs)

main :: IO ()
main = do [a,b,c] <- getArgs
                  print $ tipos (read a) (read b) (read c)

tipos :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Double
tipos a b c = fromIntegral b / fromIntegral b * fromIntegral c
