I do not understand my math problem. The problem is below.
A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 3/4 cup of oatmeal. How much oatmeal do you need if you make half the recipe?
(3/4) x (1/2)
(3/8) of a cup.
3/8
In order to divide you need to multiply3/4)x (1/2)= 3/8 ÷1/2 =0.1875 approximetely 0.188

To solve this problem, you need to find half of 3/4 cup of oatmeal.
To find half of a fraction, you can divide the numerator (top number) by 2 and keep the denominator (bottom number) the same.
Let's find half of 3/4 cup.
Step 1: Divide the numerator by 2:
3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
Step 2: Keep the denominator the same:
The denominator remains 4.
So, half of 3/4 cup is 1.5/4 cup.
However, it is usually more convenient to have a fraction in simplified form. To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 0.5.
Dividing 1.5 by 0.5 gives you 3, and dividing 4 by 0.5 gives you 8.
So, half of 3/4 cup of oatmeal is 3/8 cup.
