36 divided by 3/4 will equal how many servings are in the cooler

36 divide 3/4
But you can't a divide fractions, so you'll have to do 'keep,change,flip'. Technically, you're changing 3/4 into 4/3. So, it will look like this
36 X 4/3 =
Keep the number, Change the operation, Flip the fraction.
36 X 4 = 144 divide by 3 = 48
Your answer would be 48
Hope this helped :)
