$\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ of the bowl are green lollipops.

Explanation:

To find the amount of green out of the total number of lollipops, it's represented as this:
(number of green lollipops) $\cdot$ $*$ (total amount of lollipops in bowl)

You want $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ of the total $\frac{3}{4}$ $3/4$ .

Given:
bowl is $\frac{3}{4}$ $3/4$ full $\to$ $->$ (total amount of lollipops in bowl)
$\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ green lollipops $\to$ $->$ (number of green lollipops)

Substitute values into formula:
$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{4}$ $2/3*3/4$

Solve!
$\frac{2 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 4}$ $(2*3)/(3*4)$
$\frac{6}{12}$ $6/12$
$\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$

Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ of the bowl are green lollipops.
