Hey!
The first step solving this problem would be to convert the whole number into a fraction. To do that we simply put a 1 in the denominators place.
Original Equation :
[tex]3[/tex] · [tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
New Equation {Whole Number to Fraction} :
[tex] \frac{3}{1} [/tex] · [tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Next, we'd multiply the fractions straight across.
New Equation :
[tex] \frac{3*3}{1*4} [/tex]
Solution {New Equation Solved} :
[tex] \frac{9}{4} [/tex]
Some teachers or instructors dislike it when fractions are not in simplest for so we'll now convert it.
Fraction to Mixed Fraction :
[tex] \frac{9}{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
So, this means that 3 times 3 over 4 is [tex]2 \frac{1}{4}[/tex].
Hope this helps!
