Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]  of a box of candy your friend eat.

Step-by-step 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 = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Quantity of candy your friend eat = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \ of\ \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

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

= [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] .

Therefore, [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]  of a box of candy your friend eat.
