1/2 of a group of chickens tried to cross the road. Only 3/4 of those chickens made it to the other side. What fraction of the original group of chickens made it to the other side?

Respuesta :

1/2 tried to cross the road.....3/4 made it..
3/4 of 1/2 = 3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8...so 3/8 made it to the other side

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of the group

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of a group of chickens tried to cross the road.

only [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of those chickens made it to the other side.

So  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]  of the group of chickens made it to the other side.
