Question

Find: 3/4 of (i) 16 and (ii) 36

Answer 1

Question (i):

$\dfrac{3}{4} \text { of } 16$

$= \dfrac{3}{4} \times 16$

$= \dfrac{3 \times 16 }{4}$

$= \dfrac{48 }{4}$

$= \dfrac{48 \div 4 }{4 \div 4}$

$= 12$

Question (ii):

$\dfrac{3}{4} \text { of } 36$

$= \dfrac{3}{4} \times 36$

$= \dfrac{3 \times 36}{4}$

$= \dfrac{108}{4}$

$= \dfrac{108 \div 4}{4 \div 4}$

$= 27$

Answer 2

1)

$\dfrac{3}{4} of \: 16$


$\dfrac{3}{4} \times 16$


$\dfrac{48}{4} = 12$


$\dfrac{3}{4} \: of \: 16 = 12$

2)

$\dfrac{3}{4} \: of \: 36$


$\dfrac{3}{4} \times 36$


$\dfrac{108}{4}$


Simplifying by 4

4 x 27 = 108

4 x 1 = 4


$\dfrac{108}{4} = 27$

$\dfrac{3}{4} \: of \: 36 = 27$
