Michael has a recipe that requires 3/4 cup of flour, and he wants to make 1/2 the recipe. how much flour does he need?

Michael will use 3/8 cup of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of a Fraction:

1.  Reduce fraction to its lowest terms.

2.  If the numerator is an even number than divide the numerator by 2.

Example:  4/5 divided in half would be 2/5.

3.  If the numerator is an odd number than multiply the denominator by 2.

Example:  1/3 divided in half would be 1/6.

3/4 cup of flour divided in half would be 3/8 because the numerator 3 is an odd number so the denominator of 4 would be multiplied by 2 equaling 8.

answer: 20
