Joe tapped his maple tree to get syrup. the tree filled 3/4 of a cup in 1/2 hour. at what rate does syrup flow from the tree?

Okay. 3/4 of a cup of maple syrup is filled in 1/2 an hour. We can divide fractions to find the rate that the tree runs out syrup. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change multiplication into division, and flip the second fraction over. It would look like this: 3/4 * 2/1. 3/4 * 2/1 is 6/4 or 1 1/2 in mixed number form. Syrup flows from the tree at 1 1/2 cups per hour.

The pie is multyplued by the second step

Then why is the question on here if you know the answer
