Answer: 1.5 (Decimal Form) or 3/2 (Exact Form)

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you do is put the whole number which in this case is 4, into a fraction so your problem will look like this:

3 / 8 * 4 / 1 =

Then, you will have to multiply all the numbers across:

3 * 4 = 12

8 * 1 = 8

Your answer will then look like this:

12 / 8

You will have to simplify with the greatest common factor which would be 4:

12 / 4 = 3

8 / 4 = 2

So, you get your answer:

3 / 2 or 1.5
