看of 后面词是可数名词还是不可数,如果是可数,像materials,谓语动词就要用复数.如果是不可数,像earth,就用单数.

这样的分数对于谓语动词的选择主要看分数后面的名词,如果名词为复数可数(也就是说那3/4的都是是可数的)就用复数,第二句因earth不可数,所以用is

第一个句子是考试开始时听到的四分之三的材料,这里材料是复数形式的,所以用are
第二个句子,指的是地球的四分之三,地球是单数名词,所以用is

在这两个句子中谓语动词的单复数取决于分数后的名词可数或不可数
materials,可数,所以用are
earth不可数,所以用is

第一个句子的主语materials是复数,用are;
第二个句子的主语是earth,单数,用is。
