ok.
so john drinks 1/2 of 3/4 = 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8 of a quart of milk.
there are 4 quarts to a gallon, so he drinks 1/4 * 3/8 of a gallon which is 3/32 gallons of milk.

John drinks 1/2 of 3/4 quart. "Of" tells us to multiply.
1/2*3/4 = 3/8 quart

3/4 x the reciprocal of 1/2 = 3/4 x 2/1 (2) = 3/8

Firstly, work out how much is in a quart of milk in fluid ounces.
1 pint = 4 gills [0.568 litre]
1 quart = 2 pints [1.136 litre]
Then work out how much 3/4 of this amount is.
2 divided by 4 = 0.5 then multiply by 3 = 1.5 pints are left in the carton
Then work out how much 1/2 of that amount is ...... ?
1/2 of 1.5 = 0.75 of a pint

remaining milk = 3/4 qt.
john drinks = 1/2 of 3/4 qt
= 3/8 qt
= 3/8 * 32 oz; as [32 oz = 1 qt]
= 3*4 oz
= 12 oz
