you have 1/2 of a brownie. You eat 3/4 of what you have , what fraction of the brownie did you eat?

(3/4) * (1/2) = 3/8

To find out what fraction of the brownie you ate, you'll need to do some simple arithmetic calculations.

First, let's determine the fraction of the brownie you had left after eating 3/4 of what you initially had.

To do this, we need to subtract 3/4 from 1/2. Since we can't directly subtract 3/4 from 1/2, we need to find a common denominator for both fractions. The least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 4 is 4.

Converting 1/2 to have a denominator of 4, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
1/2 * 2/2 = 2/4

Now we can subtract 3/4 from 2/4:
2/4 - 3/4 = -1/4

So after eating 3/4 of what you initially had (1/2), you are left with -1/4 of the brownie. However, fractions cannot be negative, so we conclude that you cannot eat more than what you initially had. Therefore, the answer is that you cannot eat more than 1/2 of the brownie.
