The answer is: " 386 " .
____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
____________________________________________________

Eliminate the "1" ; since "1" multiplied by any value, results in that same value.

We have:

" (3/4) * (11.8) * (360) " ;

↔ "(3/4) * (360) * (1.8)" ;

Start with: "(3/4) * (360)" ;

→ " (3/4) * (360) =
((3*360))/(4) ;

→ The "4" cancels out to a "1" ; and the "360" cancels out to a "90" ;

→ since: "(360 ÷ 4 = 90)" ; and since: "(4 ÷ 4 = 1)" ;

And we have:
____________________________________________________


((3 * 90) )/(1) = (3 * 90) = 270 .

Now, multiply: "1.8 * 270" ;
___________________________________________________

→ 1.8
* 270
___________________________________________________
= (18 * 27) ; → Take that value and add a "0" to the end of that value;
and then: → take "this obtained value" ; and move it back ONE DECIMAL place;
___________________________________________________
So, "1.8 * 27 = ? " ;
___________________________________________________
Step 1)


18
* 27
_________________________
126
+ 36
_________________________
3 8 6
_________________________

Step 2: Add a "0" to the end of that value:
__________________________________________________
"386 " ; → " 3860 " ;
__________________________________________________

Step 3: Remove this "obtained value" one decimal place back:
__________________________________________________
"3860" ; → "386.0" ; write as: " 386 " .
__________________________________________________
The answer is: " 386 " .
