If Paul can decorate 3/4 of a cupcake per minute then:
3/4 x 12/1 because if you can decorate 3/4 a cupcake per minute, you multiply 3/4 by 12 to find the total amount of cupcakes he could decorate.
3/4 x 12/1 = 9

Paul can decorate 9 cupcakes in 12 minutes.

Hey there! :D

If Paul can decorate 3/4 cupcakes in 12 minutes, then:

3/4= .75

.75*12= 9

He can decorate 9 cupcakes in 12 minutes.

I hope this helps!
