Question

3 times 3/4 in simplest form

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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!
