Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  As Juan used 1/2 of a 1/4 of a quart of milk, he has 1/2 of 1/4 of a quart left (since 1/2 + 1/2 = 1). We need to find 1/2 of 1/4, so multiply:

⇒ 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8  of a quart

B)  Juan has 1/4 of a quart of milk and bought another 1/2 of a quart of milk, so to find the total amount, add both quantities:

⇒ 1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4  of a quart

C)  Juan had 1/2 of a quart of milk and used 1/4 of a quart on his cereal, so he had left:

⇒ 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4  of a quart

D)  Juan drank 1/2 a quart of milk and put 1/4 quart of milk on his cereal, so in total he used:

⇒ 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4 of a quart

Comparing expression, problem A can be solved by the given expression.
