(a) Find (i) [tex]$\frac{1}{3}$[/tex] of 12
To find [tex]$\frac{1}{3}$[/tex] of a number means to multiply the number by [tex]$\frac{1}{3}$[/tex]. So, we need to determine [tex]$\frac{1}{3} \cdot 12$[/tex].
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Write down the problem: \(\frac{1}{3} \cdot 12\).
2. Multiply the fraction by the number:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{3} \times 12 = \frac{1 \times 12}{3}
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication in the numerator:
[tex]\[
= \frac{12}{3}
\][/tex]
4. Now, divide the numerator by the denominator:
[tex]\[
= 4
\][/tex]
So, [tex]$\frac{1}{3}$[/tex] of 12 is 4.
