how many twelths in 3.1/2 ?

3 * 12 = 36

36 + 6 = ?

To find out how many twelfths are in 3 1/2, we need to convert the mixed number 3 1/2 into an improper fraction.

First, we multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator of the fraction, which is 2. That gives us 6.

Next, we add the numerator of the fraction, which is 1, to the result of the previous step. This gives us 6 + 1 = 7.

So, 3 1/2 as an improper fraction is 7/2.

Now, we want to find how many twelfths are in 7/2. To do that, we multiply the numerator of the fraction by 12, which gives us 7 * 12 = 84.

Therefore, there are 84 twelfths in 3 1/2.
