3/8 * 3/1 = 1 1/8

you need 1 1/8 cups of rice

or

3/8 x 3 = 1.125
1 0.125/1
simplified would be 1 1/8

1.125 as a fraction is 1 1/8

therefore you would need 1 1/8 cups of rice

Just multiply 3/8 by 3

When multiplying fractions, you can multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator


(3)/(8) x
(3)/(1)

3 x 3 = 9

8 x 1 = 8


(3)/(8) x
(3)/(1) =
(9)/(8)
