Answer 1

`$ (3)/(4) *\ 38$`

38 is equal to 38/1. So the fractions can be written as follows.

`$ (3)/(4) *\ (38)/(1) $`

In a fraction multiplication, we operate them by multiplying the numerator to the other numerator and multiplying the denominator to the other denominator. Or we could write it like this.

`$ (3)/(4) *\ (38)/(1) $`
=
`(3*\ 38)/(4*\ 1)`
=
`(114)/(4)`

Because the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, we should simplify the fraction form
=
`(114:2)/(4:2)`
=
`(57)/(2)`

break 57 into (56+1)
=
`(56)/(2)+ (1)/(2)`
=
`28+ (1)/(2)`
=
`28 (1)/(2)`
= 28.5

Answer 2

the the answer is easy its 28.5
