if 12 counters are 3/4 of a set, what is the whole set of counters?

Answer 1

X = whole set.

3/4 X = 12

Multiply both sides by 4 and divide both sides by 3.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Answer 2

If 3/4 of the set is 12

then 1/4 of the set is 4 (which is 12/3)

then the whole set is four of those quarters,

which is 4 times 4

or 16

Answer 3
