so you are going to do 3/4 -1/2.find common denominators and subtract
3/4-1/2=
3/4-1/4=1/4
I got this by finding the common denominator of 4 and 2 and the common denominator was 4 so you multiply 3/4 by 1 and 1/2 by 2 and that's how you get 1/4
or 0.25

Answer:

3/8 gallons left

Explanation:

she has 0.75 of a gallon

she eats 0.5(0.75) while watching TV

multiply 0.5 by 0.75 to get half of 3/4 of a gallon

0.375 of a gallon is what she has left

or 3/8 of a gallon
