Explanation: There are different ways to solve this problem but let's focus on just one. When we have a division multiplied by a number we can always consider the following
Step 1: Once we understand that we can solve by models as follows
First, let's solve the numerator (our multiplication)
Step 2: Once our numerator 3 x 12 = 36 now we have
[tex]\frac{36}{4}[/tex]
Now we can solve our division as follows
As we can see above, we have 36 blue boxes divided into 4 red larger boxes equally which gives us 9 blue boxes for each of the red boxes. It means 36/4 = 9.
Final answer: So our final answer is
[tex]\frac{3}{4}\cdot12=9[/tex]
