Answer 2

there are a few ways to answer this but I will explain two ways:

 

Step 1:

change the mixed numeral 1 3/4 to an improper fraction.  How?  multiply 1 x 4(denominator), then add 3 (numerator)... you get 7, then place in a fractional form (a/b) or 7/4

 

Step 2:

Change whole number to a fraction.  how?  3 is the same as 3/1

 

Step 3:

Now you multiply   7/4 x 3/1 = multiply both numerators/both denominators

 

Definition:  

denominator  is the bottom number of fraction

numerator     is the top number of fraction

 

pls let me know what your answer is... then I will check it.
