To solve the equation, we follow the concept of multiplying a fraction by a whole number.
1. 3/4 of 16: This means we want to find 3/4 of the number 16. To do this, we multiply:
[
3/4 times 16 = frac{3 times 16}{4} = frac{48}{4} = 12
]
So:
– 3/4 of 16 = 12
– 3/4 × 16 = 12
2. 16 multiplied by 3/4 is 12: This statement is also true based on the multiplication we’ve done.
Therefore, you can fill in the blanks with 12 for all three parts.
