Question

Describe or show two ways to find the following product: 3 x 3/4 .

Answer 1

Method 1 is just straight multiplication, with the equation
`(3)/(1) * (3)/(4)` which then equals
`(9)/(4)`

Method 2 is turning 3 into an improper fraction of
`(12)/(4)` and multiplying it by
`(3)/(4)`. This is then equal to
`(36)/(16)`. You then reduce this to
`(9)/(4)` by dividing the top and bottom units by 4.
