1 Answer

  1. 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.
