Mutiply \( 17 \times \frac{3}{4} \)

To multiply 17 by \(\frac{3}{4}\), you can think of it as finding \(\frac{3}{4}\) of 17. First, multiply 17 by 3 to get 51, and then divide by 4: \[ 17 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{51}{4} = 12.75 \] This means \( 17 \times \frac{3}{4} = 12.75\). Now, if you ever need to multiply a whole number by a fraction again, just remember to multiply the whole number by the numerator and then divide by the denominator. This is a nifty trick that saves time and makes calculations easier!
