1/2 of the bowl are green lollipops.

Explanation:

To find the amount of green out of the total number of lollipops, it's represented as this:
(number of green lollipops)*(total amount of lollipops in bowl)

You want 2/3 of the total 3/4.

Given:
bowl is 3/4 full -> (total amount of lollipops in bowl)
2/3 green lollipops -> (number of green lollipops)

Substitute values into formula:
2/3*3/4

Solve!
(2*3)/(3*4)
6/12
1/2

Answer: 1/2 of the bowl are green lollipops.
