Answer 2 1/4

3x3/4 = (3x3)/4. = 9/4
To convert in mixed number divide 9 into 4.The answer is 2 and a decimal.
We take only the whole number to put the whole number of the mixed fraction.In this case is 2.
But 2x4=8 not 9
Then subtract 8 from 9=1
1 is the numerator of the mixed fraction.The denominator remain the same
2 1/4

Hey!


The first step solving this problem would be to convert the whole number into a fraction. To do that we simply put a 1 in the denominators place.

Original Equation :

3 ·
(3)/(4)

New Equation {Whole Number to Fraction} :

(3)/(1) ·
(3)/(4)

Next, we'd multiply the fractions straight across.

New Equation :

(3*3)/(1*4)

Solution {New Equation Solved} :

(9)/(4)

Some teachers or instructors dislike it when fractions are not in simplest for so we'll now convert it.

Fraction to Mixed Fraction :

(9)/(4) = 2 (1)/(4)

So, this means that 3 times 3 over 4 is
2 (1)/(4).

Hope this helps!
