Question

Ariana has 2/3 quart of milk. She uses 3/4 of it in a cookie recipe. How much milk did Ariana use In her recipe?

Answer 1

In mathematics, sometimes the word 'of' means 'multiply'.

$\frac{2}{3} * \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{12}$

Simplify.

$\frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$

So, 1/2 is the answer.

Answer 2

6/12 or 1/2 because 2 * 3 =6 and 3*4= 12 then you reduce the fraction
