how do i show the work for 11/12*36

Question

I am trying to see the steps for solving 11/12 * 36  this is a fraction:  11/12 multiplied by 12

Answer 1

Here something you can try.

By changing 36 to a fraction "over 1"  (i.e. 36/1 = 36), you can do some cancelling and simplifying and solve like so:

                                              3
11 * 36  =  11 * 36  =   11 * 36  =   11 * 3  =  Get it?
12              12     1        12     1         1     1     
                                    1

Answer 2

You can simplify with cancelling as Kelvin R has shown or multiply then simplify.

You have 2 problems here:

#1 how to simplify 11/12 * 36

11/12 * 36 = 11/12 * 36/1 = 396/12 = 33

#2 this is a fraction: 11/12 multiplied by 12

11/12 * 12 = 11/12 * 12/1 = 132/12 = 11

Answer 3

if you're trying to solve for (11/12)*36 then you would just multiply across and get (11*36)/12=396/12=33 

if you're trying to solve for 11/(12*36) then you would get 11/432=0.025

Answer 4

Remember the order that equations are to be solved in -

1. anything inside brackets
2. multiplication and division in the order they appear
3. addition and subtraction in the order they appear

In this case, you would divide 11/12 & then multiply that answer by 36 showing all the steps you used.
