More on fractions prior knowledge one question

Fractions represent a part of a whole and are written in the form of \(\frac{a}{b}\), where:

- \(a\) is the **numerator**, representing the number of parts you have.
- \(b\) is the **denominator**, representing the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

### Question:
What is \(\frac{3}{4}\) of 20?

**Solution:**

To find \(\frac{3}{4}\) of 20, multiply 20 by \(\frac{3}{4}\):

\[
\frac{3}{4} \times 20 = \frac{3 \times 20}{4} = \frac{60}{4} = 15
\]

So, \(\frac{3}{4}\) of 20 is 15.
