She is making half batch only, So she will require the half amount of sugar which means we need to multiply 1/2 and 3/4


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


(1×3)/(2×4)


(3)/(8)

She will require 0.375 cup of sugar for making 1/2 batch...~

Answer:


(3)/(4) \ * \ (1)/(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Full batch requires
\sf(3)/(4) cups of sugar.

she is making half the batch so we shall half it.


  • \sf(3)/(4) ÷ 2 →
    \sf(3)/(8) → 0.375

note: we can write x ÷ 2, as
* \ \sf(x)/(2)
