1/2 of a 3-ounce serving of meatloaf, 3/4 of her 3-ounce serving of mashed potatoes, and 1/3 of a 2-ounce serving of green beans

Question

What mathematical operation applies (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division)?

Answer 1

"1/2 of a 3-ounce ... 3/4 of her 3-ounce ...and 1/3 of a 2-ounce ..."

 

In word (story) problems, the word "of" used between a fraction and a number (and other places) usually means multiplication:

    (1/2)*3  ...    (3/4)*3  ...  (1/3)*2
