Question

1/2 of a group of chickens tried to cross the road. Only 3/4 of those chickens made it to the other side. What fraction of the original group of chickens made it to the other side?

Answer 1

1/2 tried to cross the road.....3/4 made it..
3/4 of 1/2 = 3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8...so 3/8 made it to the other side

Answer 2

`(3)/(8)` of the group

`(1)/(2)` of a group of chickens tried to cross the road.

only
`(3)/(4)` of those chickens made it to the other side.
