Answer:
See below for explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Another way to think about this is to think "How many fourths are in 3". There are 4 fourths in 1, and there are 3 1's in 3, so we have
3(4) = 12 fourths in 3
Algebraically you can write it as.
1(4)x = 3 this means "one fourth time some value is 3" which is a rewording of what I explained above. Solve for x by multiplying both sides by 4...we get x = 12, so
one fourth, 12 times gives us 3
