Too make this easier for me or others 3/4 can be represented as 0.75. 3/4 or 0.75 x 16 = 12
More depth explanation:
Multiple: 3/
4
* 16 = 3 · 16/
4 · 1
= 48/
4
= 12 · 4/
1 · 4
= 12
Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(48, 4) = 4. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 4 gives 12/
1
.
In other words - three quarters multiplied by sixteen = twelve.
