Answer:
¹²/₇
Step-by-step explanation:
Model ⁴/₇ × 3
Assume that you have three pies, each dived into seven slices.
There are only four slices remaining in each pie, that is, there is ⁴/₇ pie in each pie plate
The picture represents ⁴/₇ × 3.
Model the product
Now, transfer slices to get as many filled pie plates as possible.
Count the total slices.
You have 12 slices, and each slice represents ⅐ of a pie.
You have ¹²/₇ pie.
∴ ⁴/₇ × 3 = ¹²/₇
