Answer:

Its is quicker

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to use a model you would have write the common denominator out instead of multiplying it. Then you would have to write the new numerator for each fraction to then write it down and divide it into other pieces of the model. the equation is much faster and overall easier to save time on a quiz or test

Hope this helps :)

The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...
... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.
Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...
... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.

Alternate solutions
We have computed ...
... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200
Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:
... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000
... = 24000/20 = 1200
or
... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200
