What is 1 3rd of 3 4ths?

Answer 1

To translate this statement "what is 1/3 of 3/4" into mathematical terms, the word "of" is translated into "times",

so that statement becomes "what is 1/3 times 3/4", whose answer can be written as:

1 3

-- x ---

3 4

Multiplying numbers in the numerators and denominators we get:

1 x 3

----------

3 x 4

Since we have 3 in both the numerator and denominator, they cancel because 3/3 = 1:

And you are left with 1/4.

Answer 2

The question is asking for the product of 1/3 and 3/4

When multiplying fractions multiply the numerators and denominations and reduce the product

Thus 1/3 * 3/4 = 3/12= 1/4

Answer 3

When are asked to find 1/3 of something we need to multiply that number by 1/3. In this case it wants un to multiply 1/3 by 3/4. When multiplying fractions you set them side by side and multiply across. This means you seperately multiply the numerators and denominators.

Numerators:

1 x 3= 3

Demoninators:

3 X 4=12

Our new fraction is 3/12.

But you can't stop here. 3/12 can be simplified.

Can you tell me what number you can use to simplify, and what the answer is?
