Question

Which point represents 3/4 x 1/2​

Answer 1

Answer: Point B

Explanation:

3/4 times 1/2 is equal to 3/8

You multiply across the numerators to get 3*1 = 3

Do the same for the denominators: 4*2 = 8

So that's how we end up with 3/8.

Note how the number line from 0 to 1 is divided into 8 equal sections as shown by the tickmarks. Each tickmark is 1/8, so three of them is 3/8.

Start at 0 and move 3 ticks to the right to land on point B which is at 3/8 on the number line.

Or you can start at 1/2 = 4/8 and move backward 1 spot to land at the same location point B. This is because (4/8) - (1/8) = 3/8.
