if for 3 potatoes take 1/4 then you just add 3 more potatoes and plus 1/4 to the 1/4 you already have which gives you 2/4 and then add 3 more potatoes to the 6 that you have which equals nine potatoes and 1/4 to the 2/4 you already have which equals 3/4 so 3+3+3= 9 potatoes and 1/4+1/4+1/4 =3/4 hope this helped plz give brainliest
