The total space in the parking lot is 1600 cars

It is mentioned that
(3)/(4) parts of this parking is filled

Now we are required to find what is the three-fourths part of 1600

To find it we multiply
(3)/(4) times 1600


(3)/(4) X 1600

=
(3X1600)/(4)

=
(4800)/(4)

= 1200 cars

Hence 1200 cars fills the three-fourths of the car parking lot that has a capacity of 1600 cars
