Answer 1

Your daughter's thinking is correct.

But you didn't state her answer.

What is 3/4 of 12?

Also -- please don't use all capital letters. It's considered to be shouting by internet etiquette.

Answer 2

Oh I'm sorry, just trying to be quick.

Her answers are as follows:

A. 3
B. 9/16
C. 9 and 3

Thank you.

Answer 3

A is correct.

B. 3/4 is three times as much as 1/4

C. 3/4 of 12 = 9

Answer 4

can you explain b and c

Answer 5

B. 3/4 IS 3 TIMES AS MUCH AS ?

Since the first question asks about 1/4, it seems logical that the second question is asking what 3 times 1/4 is.

C. 3X3= ? SO 3/4 OF 12 IS?

3 * 3 = 9
