"Used"

How much does Mariah have left?

___________________________

We know that originally, Mariah had 3/4 of a cup of flour, in which she then used 1/2 of that cup in a recipe. There is a dilemma here, the denominators aren't the same and we can't subtract without the same denominator. To solve, we need to get them both to the same denominator, so find what times 2 equals 4. Then multiply that same number by the numerator.

$\frac{1}{2} * \frac{?}{?} = \frac{?}{4}$

$\frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{2} = \frac{2}{4}$

Now that 1/2 has been changed to 2/4, we can subtract.

So she has 3/4, and uses 2/4

$\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the answer is A.
