Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

First,

convert 3/4 of an hour to minutes;

If 1 hr = 60 mins

then 3/4 of 1hr =
(3)/(4) *60\\ \\ =45 mins.</p><p>Next, </p><p>If 1/2 of 3/4 was spent practicing recital piece, it means that it is half of 45 mins;</p><p>1/2 *45 = 22.5 mins</p><p>Lastly, convert the 22.5 mins into a fraction of an hour;</p><p>22.5/60 = [tex](3)/(8)
