Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we start by multiplying the numerators.

3*256 =  768

Now we can put the answer over the denominator.

768/10

Both of these numbers are divisible by 2. So we can take out a factor of 2.

384/5

Answer 2

3/10 = .30 = 30%

10% of 256 = ?

i.e

If I wanted to leave a 20% tip off of a $200 meal I would drop a decimal of 200.0 and then shift it over one. 10% of 200 = 20. 20 * 2 = 10% + 10%

To get 30% of something just take 10% three times
