Answer:

The correct answer is 1/2 of a mile.

Explanation:

Distance from Carrie’s House to the park = 3/4 of a mile

Distance from Carrie's House to the place she stopped for a drink = 2/3 of the way

Distance walked by Carrie when she stopped for a drink = 2/3 * 3/4 miles

Distance walked by Carrie when she stopped for a drink = 2/3 * 3/4

Distance walked by Carrie when she stopped for a drink = 6/12

Distance walked by Carrie when she stopped for a drink = 1/2 of a mile (simplifying by 6 the numerator and the denominator)

Carrie had walked 1/2 of a mile when she stopped for a drink, before arriving to the park.
