Answer:

1/4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I want to walk from my house to a clothing store 3/4 of a mile away, this implies that the location is 0.75 miles from my home.

Now, if after walking 1/2 mile I decide to stop, I will have traveled 0.5 miles in total. In this way, when I get back on my way, I will have to travel 0.25 miles to reach my destination (0.75 - 0.50).

Therefore, since 1 divided by 4 equals 0.25, I have to walk 1/4 mile to reach my destination.
