Mrs. abbate wish to make a dozen towels if each towel is to be 3/4 yard how many yards of material should she buy

Well she wants to make a dozen towels. a dozen is 12 so she wants 12 towels. each towel is 3/4 yards. so we can add 3/4 12 times like

3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 and so on. or we can do

12 * 3/4

we can rewrite 12 as 12/1. like this

12/1 * 3/4

to multiply fractions we multiply the tops and get

12 * 3 = 36

and then bottoms

1 * 4 = 4

we put top over bottom

36/4

simplify

9/1 = 9 yards

The answer is 9 yards.
