Question #4d464

Answer 1

See the solution process below:

Explanation:

"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 3/4`cup

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

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

`m = 3/8`cup

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

Answer 2

`3/8` cup

Explanation:

Well to find half of `3/4` we multiply this by `1/2`

So...

`3/4*1/2=3/8`

Answer 3

3/8 of a cup

Explanation:

Whenever a math problem talks about a fraction of a quantity, it calls for multiplication. In this case, that means we will multiply `3/4 *1/2`, getting `3/8` as the answer.

Answer 4

`3/8` of a cup

Explanation:

We can set up an expression to represent this problem. Since we are looking for `1/2` of `3/4` a cup, we multiply the two together ("of" generally means multiplication). This gives us:

`1/2 * 3/4`

`= 3/8`

Therefore, `1/2` of `3/4` of a cup is `3/8` of a cup.
