Question

You and your friend are going to some candy. You eat 3/4 of a box of candy. Your friend eats 1/2 as much as you do. How much of a box of candy does your friend eat?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$  of a box of candy your friend eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

You and your friend are going to some candy.

You eat 3/4 of a box of candy.

Your friend eats 1/2 as much as you do.

Now, to find that how much of a box of candy does your friend eat.

Quantity of a box of candy you eat = $\frac{3}{4}$

Quantity of candy your friend eat = $\frac{1}{2} \ of\ \frac{3}{4}$

Now, to get how much the candy your friend eat we multiply 1/2 and 3/4:

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

= $\frac{3}{8}$ .

Therefore, $\frac{3}{8}$  of a box of candy your friend eat.
