How much is 3/4 of 1 1/2

Answer 1

1. To answer this question, you must know that the English word "of" in this sentence, translates to multiplying in "math" language.

Let's translate from English to Math:

3/4 of 1 1/2

means 3/4 · 1 1/2

1. Next thing we have to do is convert mixed number into a fraction

1 1/2 = (1·2 + 1) /2 = 3/2

1. Now we plug it back in:

3/4 · 3/2

1. And now only thing left to do is multiply numerator by numerator, and denominator by denominator:

3/4 · 3/2 = 9/8

And that's it!

P.S. in mixed number that is 1 1/8
