What is 3/4 of 60?

Explanation:
To find a fraction of a number, multiply the number by that fraction. For 3/4 of 60, multiply 60 by 3/4. You can do 60 ÷ 4 = 15, then 15 × 3 = 45. Or think 60 × 3/4 = 60 × 0.75 = 45. So three quarters of sixty is 45. The other values correspond to different portions: 30 is half of 60, 40 is two-thirds of 60, and 60 is the whole amount, not a fraction.
