Answer:

30 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Reeba sells [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of 12 chocolate chip cookies.

Let us start by finding [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of 12. We simply have to multiply the two numbers. However, it would be much easier if we had an improper fraction than a mixed number. Let us make [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  an improper fraction first.

[tex]3\frac{3}{4} =\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Ok! Let's multiply.

[tex]\frac{15}{4} *\frac{12}{1} =\\15*3\\=45[/tex]

Ok, Reeba baked 45 cookies in total. We know that she sells  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]  of her baked cookies, so we can again multiply the two numbers.

[tex]\frac{2}{3} *\frac{45}{1} =\\2*15=\\30[/tex]

Therefore, Reeba sold 30 cookies.
