Answer:

To thirds if I'm not wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

three fourths meaning 3/4 of a number is 1/2

so:

3/4 of number is 1/2

1/4 of number = number ÷ 4

3/4 of number = (number ÷ 4) × 3

(number ÷ 4) × 3 = 1/2

<divide both sides by 3>

number ÷ 4 = 1/6

<multiply both sides by 4>

number = 4/6

<show in lowest term>

number = 2/3

the number is 2/3
