Answer:

12 groups

Explanation:

According to the problem, calculation of the given data are as follows:

Given number = 3

Each group = 1/4 or 0.25

So, we can calculate the number of group in 3 by using following formula,

Number of groups = Given number ÷ Each group

By putting the value, we get

Number of groups = 3 ÷ 0.25

= 12

Hence, there are 12 groups of 1/4 in 3.
