A power hacksaw blade has 16 teeth per inch. How many teeth are there in ″ of the blade?


If the power hacksaw blade has 16 teeth per inch, then the number of teeth in ¾ (three-quarters) of an inch can be calculated by multiplying the number of teeth per inch by the fraction of an inch:

\[
\text{Teeth in } \frac{3}{4} \text{ inch} = 16 \times \frac{3}{4} = 12 \text{ teeth}.
\]

So, there are 12 teeth in ¾ inch of the blade.
