Question

3 times as much as the sum of 3-4 and 2-6.

Answer 1

2 - 3 = -1 2 - 6 = -4  -4 + -1 = -5  -5 x 3 = ?

Answer 2

¹³/₄ or 3¹/₄ or 3.25

Further explanation

The Problem:

• 3 times as much as the sum of $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$
• Write an expression to match, and then solve.

The Process:

Here are some early expressions that need attention.

• three-quarter is $\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$
• two-sixth is $\boxed{\frac{2}{6}}$
• the sum of $\frac{3}{4} \ and \ \frac{2}{6}$ is $\boxed{\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{6}}$

Let us write an expression to match for 3 times as much as the sum of $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 3 \times \bigg(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{6} \bigg) \ }}$

Let us calculate the operation in parentheses at first.

$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{6}$

A least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12. We use to equate the denominator.

$\frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} + \frac{2 \times 2}{6 \times 2}$

$\frac{9}{12} + \frac{4}{12}$

$\frac{13}{12}$

And now we solve the full expression.

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \bigg(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{6} \bigg) \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{13}{12} \ }$

We cross out 3 and 12 because they both can be divided.

$\boxed{ \ = 1 \times 1\frac{13}{4} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = \frac{13}{4} \ }}$

In mixed fraction:

$\boxed{ \ \frac{13}{4} = \ ? \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{12}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 + \frac{1}{4} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 3\frac{1}{4} \ }}$

In decimal:

$\boxed{ \ 3\frac{1}{4} = \ ? \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3\frac{1 \times 25}{4 \times 25} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3\frac{25}{100} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 3.25 \ }}$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ Thus, \ the \ result \ is \ \frac{13}{4} \ or \ 3\frac{1}{4} \ or \ 3.25 \ }}$

Quick Steps:

Simplify $\boxed{\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}}$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \bigg(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{6} \bigg) \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \bigg(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{3} \bigg) \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \bigg(\frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} + \frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} \bigg) \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \bigg(\frac{9}{12} + \frac{4}{12} \bigg) \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{13}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = \frac{13}{4} \ }}$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 3\frac{1}{4} \ }}$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 3.25 \ }}$
