Question

A drawer contains white and black socks only

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 = for every 1 white sock there are 3 black socks

1    times    12    = 12

/                              /

3    times    12    = 36

i multiplied 1 times 12 = 12

and 3 times 12 = 36

or you can also do this:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1+ 1+  1

3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3+3+3+3+3+3+3

you can also simplify 12/36 and it will give you 1/3
