There are 12 tablespoons in 3/4 cup so you would have to use 6 tablespoons for half of 3/4 cup. That is a dry measurement for half of 3/4 cup. So for liquid there is 2 ounces in 1/4 cup so there would be 6 ounces in 3/4 cup and you would use 3 ounces to measure half of 3/4 cup of liquid.
An obstacle is what comes up when you lose sight of your goal.

No problem. You're very welcome. I never would have known the answer had I not googled it.

~Sometimes when I'm figuring and my brain isn't wanting to "do math" I simplify. 3/4 is three units of a 1/4 cup. When you cut 3 of anything in half you get 1 1/2. So I would have taken the unit 1/4 cup and measured one full and one half full.~

If you want to halve a fraction, just double the bottom.
Half of 3/4 is 3/8.

~Just wanted to add that the latest set of measuring cups I bought came with 2/3 and 3/4 cup dry measures. So in the above example(providing the cups were clean)I would have just grabbed my 3/4 cup measure and filled it halfway.

All my measuring cup sets have 1/8. My favorite ones have the cups written on one side and the tablespoons on the other side. So I can see that 1/8 of a cup is the same as 2 tablespoons. Which is great when multiplying a recipe that uses tbsp, I can just convert it to cups instead of endless spoonfuls.
If everyone would just go metric it would be sooooo much easier. No fractions

You can always measure the full amount - pour it out onto a cutting board, etc. . . and split it in half. . . not exact - but close enough for most recipes.
