Hello!

3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal

We know that Jen picks 0.75 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour, and now we want to find out how many gallons she'll pick in 2 hours.

Half an hour = 0.5 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 There are four half hours in 2 hours.

0.75 × 4 = 3

ANSWER:

Jen will have picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.
