See the solution process below:

Explanation:

"half" or "one half" is 1/212

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

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

We can now write:

m = 1/2 xx 3/4m=12×34cup

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

m = (1 xx 3)/(2 xx 4)m=1×32×4cup

m = 3/8m=38cup

Half of 3/434cup is 3/838cup.
