In a basket, 3 out of 4 eggs are cracked. how many eggs are cracked if their is a total of 28 eggs in the basket

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)

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.
