lara multipied 4/13 times 3 and got 12/39. was her answer correct
okay rads here is my question Lara multiplied 4/13 times 3 and got 12/39 was her answer correctt.
No, Lara's answer is incorrect. When multiplying fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.
In this case, (4/13) * 3 = (4 * 3) / (13 * 1) = 12/13, not 12/39.
To verify if Lara's answer is correct, we can multiply 4/13 by 3 to see if we get 12/39.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
So, (4/13) multiplied by 3 is:
(4/13) * 3 = (4 * 3) / (13 * 1) = 12/13
Since our result is 12/13, not 12/39 as Lara mentioned, Lara's answer is incorrect.
To determine whether Lara's answer is correct, we need to compare her answer of 12/39 with the actual result of multiplying 4/13 by 3.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) together to get the new denominator.
So, multiplying 4/13 by 3, we get:
(4/13) * 3 = (4 * 3) / (13 * 1) = 12/13
Comparing Lara's answer of 12/39 with the correct answer of 12/13, we can see that they are not the same. Therefore, Lara's answer is incorrect.
