the distance from carrie's house to the park was 3/4 of a mile. Carrie walked 2/3 of the way before she stopped for a drink. How far had carrie walked?

1/2 because you will have to multiply then simplify

Think of multiplication whenever you see the word "of."

2/3 of 3/4 means (2/3)(3/4) = 6/12 = 1/2.
