Answer:
[tex]3 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{1} \times \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{3}{1} \times \frac{3}{4} = \: \: \frac{9}{4} \: or \: \: 2 \:\times \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Originally he needs 3/4 cups
If he is tripling it, he need 3 times 3/4.
You can see above since every number has a 1 under them you can write 3 as 3/1 if it make it easier dor you to understand.
Then, you multiply numerators and denominators with each other. 3 times 3 will give you 9 and 1 times 4 will give you 4.
So you got 9/4 whixh can also write as 2(times)1/4
Hope this is helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
