Aaron and Alex are hanging out after school at Aaron's house. They found 3/4 of a package of crackers and ate 1/2 of them. What fraction of the package did they eat?

Multiply the two fractions.

Are you sure
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. What do you get when you multiply the two fractions? Does the answer make sense to you?

Do you know how to multiply fractions?
Answered by AnonymousHackerxx
Yes but since it said ate doesn't it mean subtract

Too figure out a fraction of a fraction you multiply them together.
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

You must multiply those fractions.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Your question states that they ate a fraction of a fraction. The word "of" means multiply.

If you subtract 2/4 from 3/4, you'd get 1/4. Yet obviously they ate more than 1/4 of the package.
