Step 1
First method

3 \times 2 = 6

3 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4}

\frac{9}{4} = 2 \frac{1}{2}

Answer:

6 + 2 \frac{1}{4} = 8 \frac{1}{4}

Second method

2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2}{1} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}

3 \times \frac{11}{4} = \frac{33}{4}

Answer:

\frac{33}{4} = 8 \frac{1}{4}

Step 1
If you do 2 (the whole number) times

3 = 6

Leave that for now, make the

\frac{3}{4}

in a percentage:

\frac{3}{4} \times 100 % = 75 %

Multiply this by 3 and you get

225 %

Make this percentage into a fraction:

\frac{225 %}{100 %} = 2.25 = 2 \frac{1}{4}

Add the two values together:

6 + 2 \frac{1}{4} = 8 \frac{1}{4}
