Kristina,

Thank you for your message. Just to clarify, I want to make sure that we are on the right track with the book. On your question, does the 3/4 have parenthesis around it? Meaning that it would be 3/4 of the answer not 2 3/4.

Please let me know and we can work through that, if not the parenthesis were missed in your print and that should clarify the question.

I hope this helps, let me know what else I can assist with.

Make it a great day,

I'm sorry - yes, it does have parentheses. I still don't understand it as written, though.
