Let me help you visualize this one.
Let's say we have 12 chickens.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
We divide this group in half (1/2 who tried to cross the road.)
OOOOOO
And here, we need to get 3/4 of the 6 left.
3/4 can be represented as 0.75 of 1.
6 times 0.75 equals to 4.5.
OOOOC (Woah, that chicken is split in half!)
What fraction is 4.5 of the original amount?
Well, that's for you to find out! Good luck in solving this question.
Swimmer a swims 100 meters, which is 100 1-meters, which is 100
(1 yards +3.37 inches) = 100 yards + 337 inches.
1 yard is 3 feet, so 100 yards are 300 feet.
100 in is 8.33 feet so
337 in is (337*8.33)/100=28.07 feet
Swimmer b swims 100 yards, which is 300 feet
Swimmer a swam 28.07 feet.
