To multiply \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) by \(16\), first convert \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) to an improper fraction. 1. Convert \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{(3 \times 4) + 1}{4} = \frac{12 + 1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \] 2. Now multiply \(\frac{13}{4}\) by \(16\): \[ \frac{13}{4} \times 16 = \frac{13 \times 16}{4} \] 3. Simplify the multiplication: \[ \frac{13 \times 16}{4} = \frac{208}{4} = 52 \] So, \(3 \frac{1}{4} \times 16 = 52\).

To multiply \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) by \(16\), first convert \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) to an improper fraction.

Convert \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{(3 \times 4) + 1}{4} = \frac{12 + 1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \]
Now multiply \(\frac{13}{4}\) by \(16\): \[ \frac{13}{4} \times 16 = \frac{13 \times 16}{4} \]
Simplify the multiplication: \[ \frac{13 \times 16}{4} = \frac{208}{4} = 52 \]

So, \(3 \frac{1}{4} \times 16 = 52\).
