three fourth of a dozen toffees are​

Answer 1

Given,

Some amount of toffees.

To find,

three fourth of a dozen toffees.

Solution,

Know that in a dozen there are $\[12\]$ quantities.

Therefore,

$\[\begin{array}{l} = \frac{3}{4} \times 12\\ = 3 \times 3\\ = 9\end{array}\]$

Hence, three fourth of a dozen toffees are $\[9.\]$

Answer 2

Three fourth of a dozen toffees are 9.

• Three fourth is a fraction represented as,

        $\frac{3}{4}$

• Here, 'of' indicates multiplication.

        $\frac{3}{4} * dozen$

• A dozen of any item consists of 12 units.
• Hence, a dozen of toffees would be equal to 12 toffees.
• Three fourth of a dozen would mean three fourth of 12 toffees.
• So, on replacing the term dozen with 12, the obtained value is,

        $\frac{3}{4} * 12 = 9$
