Step-by-step explanation: There are different ways to solve this problem but let's focus on just one. When we have a division multiplied by a number we can always consider the following
Step 1: Once we understand that we can solve by models as follows
First, let's solve the numerator (our multiplication)
Step 2: Once our numerator 3 x 12 = 36 now we have
![(36)/(4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/y8qhqmdmr8jpasv5ta8uu4w68cwp30u7zz.png)
Now we can solve our division as follows
As we can see above, we have 36 blue boxes divided into 4 red larger boxes equally which gives us 9 blue boxes for each of the red boxes. It means 36/4 = 9.
Final answer: So our final answer is
![(3)/(4)\cdot12=9](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/d5z3q2xmjqf7a8urn0v1dzvqs9hurlkyiq.png)
