TO FIND 3/4 OF 12...
A. 1/4 OF 12 IS ?
B. 3/4 IS 3 TIMES AS MUCH AS ?
C. 3X3= ? SO 3/4 OF 12 IS?
MY DAUGHTER WROTE HER ANSWERS, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE THEY ARE CORRECT. THANKS.
Your daughter's thinking is correct.
But you didn't state her answer.
What is 3/4 of 12?
Also -- please don't use all capital letters. It's considered to be shouting by internet etiquette.
Oh I'm sorry, just trying to be quick.
Her answers are as follows:
A. 3
B. 9/16
C. 9 and 3
Thank you.
A is correct.
B. 3/4 is three times as much as 1/4
C. 3/4 of 12 = 9
can you explain b and c
B. 3/4 IS 3 TIMES AS MUCH AS ?
Since the first question asks about 1/4, it seems logical that the second question is asking what 3 times 1/4 is.
C. 3X3= ? SO 3/4 OF 12 IS?
3 * 3 = 9
To find 3/4 of 12, let's break it down step by step as you have asked:
A. 1/4 of 12 is ?
To find 1/4 of a number, you can simply divide the number by 4. In this case, 12 divided by 4 is equal to 3. So, 1/4 of 12 is 3.
B. 3/4 is 3 times as much as ?
To find a fraction that is a certain number of times as much as another number, you need to divide the number by the fraction. In this case, 3/4 of 12 is the same as finding 12 divided by 3/4. To divide by a fraction, you invert the fraction and then multiply. So, we have 12 divided by 3/4, which can be rewritten as 12 * 4/3. Multiply the numerator (12) by the reciprocal of the fraction (4/3), which gives you 48/3. Simplifying this fraction gives you 16. Therefore, 3/4 of 12 is 16.
C. 3 times 3 = ?
Multiplying 3 by 3 gives you 9. So, 3 times 3 equals 9.
Therefore, the correct answers are:
A. 1/4 of 12 is 3.
B. 3/4 of 12 is 16.
C. 3 times 3 equals 9.
