Amelie Rhodes · Answer 1

Cracked:all=3:4

3/4=x/28

cross multiply or times both sides by 28

3*7=x

21=x

21 are cracked (bad deal)

Finnegan Porter · Answer 2

So it's 3/4 of 28, so ...

when we find a fraction of a whole number, we always divide the whole number by the denominator. In this case, 28:4, which equals to 7. Then, we multiply the numerator with the quotient of the whole number and the denominator: 7 x 3, which is 21. So if in a basket, 3/4 of 28 eggs are cracked, then 21 eggs are cracked.
