Samantha took 72 pictures on her beach vacation. 1/2 of the pictures are of her family and 3/4 of those pictures are on the beach. What fraction of the pictures are of her family on the beach?

Answer 1

1. Samantha took 72 total pictures.
2. This is broken down further:
3. Half of the pictures were of the family. Half of 72 is 36.
4. Then, of those family pictures, 36, 3/4 were onthe beach.
5. Now multiply 36 by 3/4 or 0.75.
6. The answer is 27.
7. So the family beach pictures numbered 27.
