| Samantha's task | 1/2 hour |
To find the fraction of the task that Samantha can complete, we need to divide the time she has by the time it takes to complete the task:
1/2 ÷ 3/4
To divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and multiply:
1/2 ÷ 3/4 = 1/2 × 4/3 = 4/6 = 2/3
Therefore, Samantha can complete 2/3 of the task.

| Solution | 2/3 |
Samantha is starting a task that takes of an hour to complete, but she only has of an hour to work on it. If she works at an even pace, determine what fraction of the task will she complete.
