so 3/4 of 12
remember that 12=12/1
and if you ahve x/y times z/t that equals to (xz)/(yt) so
'of' means multiply
3/4 times 12/1=(3 times 12)/(4 times 1)=36/4=9/1=9
9 are working in the library

If you would like to know how many girls are working in the library, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3/4 of 12 students = 3/4 * 12 = 3 * 3 = 9 girls

Result: There are 9 girls working in the library.
