"half" or "one half" is 1/2

When dealing with fractions in this contact the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Let's call the measure we are looking for m.

We can now write:

m = 1/2 xx 3/4cup

We can now multiply the numerators and denominators of the fractions:

m = (1 xx 3)/(2 xx 4)cup

m = 3/8cup

Half of 3/4cup is 3/8cup.
