Question

You and your friend are going to some candy. You eat 3/4 of a box of candy. Your friend eats 1/2 as much as you do. How much of a box of candy does your friend eat?​

Answer 1

`(3)/(8)` of a box of candy your friend eat.

Explanation:

Given:

You and your friend are going to some candy.

You eat 3/4 of a box of candy.

Your friend eats 1/2 as much as you do.

Now, to find that how much of a box of candy does your friend eat.

Quantity of a box of candy you eat =
`(3)/(4)`

Quantity of candy your friend eat =
`(1)/(2) \ of\ (3)/(4)`

Now, to get how much the candy your friend eat we multiply 1/2 and 3/4:

=
`(1)/(2) * (3)/(4)`

=
`(3)/(8)` .

Therefore,
`(3)/(8)` of a box of candy your friend eat.
