Question

Sidh is making fruit salad. His recipe calls for 3/4 pound of watermelon. He wants

to make 1/2 of the amount of fruit salad in the recipe. How much watermelon does Sidh need?

Answer 1

Sidh needs 3/8 pound of watermelon for half of the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much watermelon Sidh needs, you need to multiply the amount of watermelon in the original recipe by half. First, convert 3/4 pound to a common denominator of 2 to get 6/8 pound of watermelon. Next, multiply 6/8 by 1/2 to find 3/8 pounds of watermelon needed for half of the recipe.

Answer 2

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
