Shana wants to make a birthday cake for her mother. her old fashioned recipe calls for 3/12 Of a teaspoon of salt but she only has measuring spoons that use fourths. How many fourths of a teaspoon should she use ?

I get 2/4 because I did 1/4 of 3/12

The answer is 1/4ths because if you do the equation correctly you get 1/4.
