\(\frac { 3} { 8} \) teaspoon.

Solución

Step 1: 
Convert 3/4 to a fraction: 

\(\frac { 3} { 4} \)
 

Step 2:

Divide by 2: 

\(\frac { 3} { 4} \div 2 = \frac { 3} { 4} \times \frac { 1} { 2} = \frac { 3} { 8} \)
 

Step 3:

Therefore, half of 3/4 teaspoon is 3/8 teaspoon.

 

Supplemental Knowledge:

To find half of a fraction, you multiply the fraction by 1/2. In this case, you need to find half of 3/4 teaspoon.

Here's how to do it step-by-step:

1. Write the problem as a multiplication of fractions: 
\[\frac { 1} { 2} \times \frac { 3} { 4} \]

2. Multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together: 
\[\frac { 1 \times 3} { 2 \times 4} = \frac { 3} { 8} \]

So, half of 3/4 teaspoon is 3/8 teaspoon.

 

Applied Knowledge:

Imagine this: when baking cookies and the recipe calls for 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract but you want to only produce half the batch. Being aware of how to divide fractions allows for accurate adjustments without altering its final outcome.

When mixing small quantities of paint for art projects or DIY tasks, understanding fractions helps measure out precise quantities that ensure color or texture consistency across your finished project.
