Answer:

32

Explanation:

if 3/4 of a number is 36 then that means we need to do 36 divided by 3 to find what 1/4 is.

36 / 3 = 12

Now that we have our base number we know that 4/4 will be 36 plus 12.

36 + 12 = 48

So we have our complete number but now we have to figure out what is 2/3 of 48. How we do this is by dividing 48 by the denometor and then multiplying that number by the numerator.

48 / 3 = 16

16 × 2 = 32

Now we know that our solution is 32.

Hope this helps, good luck with the rest of your day :)
