Question

paul is decorating cupcakes for a birthday party he can decorate 3/4 of a cupcake per minute at this rate how many cupcakes can he decorate in 12 minute

Answer 1

Well, in 12 minutes, you'd have decorated 3/4 of a cupcake 12 times. In other words, 3/4x12/1. The answer would be 36/4, or 9 whole. In 12 minutes, Paul would have decorated 9 whole cupcakes.

Answer 2

9
3/4 x 12 is 9, because 12 times 3= 36 and 36 divided by 4 is 9.
