Answer:
Hayden bought 36 baseball cards.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of baseball cards, you have to calculate the [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the total of cards
The total of cards is 48
You have to multiply the total of cards by [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]:
[tex]48(\frac{3}{4})[/tex]
To solve the multiplication of two fractions (because 48 can be written as [tex]\frac{48}{1}[/tex]) you have to multiply the numerators of the two fractions and divide that result by the multiplication of the denominators of the two fractions
[tex]\frac{(48)(3)}{(1)(4)} = \frac{144}{4}[/tex]
Solving the division:
[tex]\frac{144}{4} = 36[/tex]
