Question

A recipe for pancakes calls for 3/4 cup of milk. How much milk will you need if you make 1/2 of the recipe?

Answer 1

It would be 3/8. First you would have to change the denominator into something else so that you can take half of your numerator. The one that I used is 8. You would then multiply both your numerator and denominator by 2 to get 6/8. divide your numerator by 2 to get 3/8 which is half of 3/4.

Answer 2

1/2 of 3/4 which is 3/8 cup of milk
