Answer:


(1)/(4) left

Explanation:

The question says she used
(1)/(2) of it, so she probably used
(1)/(2) of it. I'm assuming this is an error in the question, and it should be asking how much is left. To solve for that:


(3)/(4) -
(1)/(2)

make denominators equal

(
(2)/(2) ×
(3)/(4)) - (
(1)/(2) ×
(4)/(4))


(6)/(8) -
(4)/(8)


(2)/(8)


(1)/(4)
