Susanna needs 4/11 of 3/4 of the fabric, meaning:
(4/11) times (3/4)
When you multiply fractions, you multiply the numerator × numerator and the denominator x denominator.
Numerator: 4 x 3 = 12
Denominator: 11 x 4 = 44
Your new fraction is 12/44, which you can reduce
12/44 divide both top and bottom by 2, because you can
12/44 = 6/22 you can divide by 2 again to simplify
6/22 = 3/11
Susanna needs 3/11 of the fabric
