Write as fractions.
a. 1/2 of 3/4
b. 1/3 of 3/5
c. 3/4 of 1/6
"of" in this context means multiplication, so
1/2 of 3/4
= (1/2(3/4)
= 3/8
you do the rest.
184/8=
a. To find 1/2 of 3/4, you can multiply the two fractions. Multiply the numerators (1 × 3 = 3) to get the numerator of the new fraction, and multiply the denominators (2 × 4 = 8) to get the denominator of the new fraction. So, 1/2 of 3/4 is 3/8.
b. To find 1/3 of 3/5, you can again multiply the two fractions. Multiply the numerators (1 × 3 = 3) to get the numerator of the new fraction, and multiply the denominators (3 × 5 = 15) to get the denominator of the new fraction. Therefore, 1/3 of 3/5 is 3/15, which can be simplified to 1/5.
c. To find 3/4 of 1/6, you will multiply the two fractions. Multiply the numerators (3 × 1 = 3) to get the numerator of the new fraction, and multiply the denominators (4 × 6 = 24) to get the denominator of the new fraction. Hence, 3/4 of 1/6 is 3/24, which can be simplified to 1/8.
