Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf \frac{3}{8} \ gallons \ of \ paint}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total gallon of paint Sam had = 3/4 gallon

He used = 1/2 of 3/4 gallon of the paint he had

Key : "of" means to "multiply"

So, He used:

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} \\\\= \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 4} \\\\= \frac{3}{8} \ gallons \ of \ paint\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Hope this helped!
