What is 3/3 of 52?

How to calculate 3/3 of 52?

1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 52 × 3 = 156
2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 156/3 = 52
3. Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD (3):
   • 156/3 = 52
   • 3/3 = 1
4. Which gives: 52/1

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 3/3 of 52, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{3}{3}=\frac{x}{52}$ (where x represents 3/3 of 52)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $3\times 52=3x$
2. Which gives: $156=3x$
3. Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x: $\frac{156}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{156}{3}=x$ (or $\frac{52}{1}=x$)

Thus, 3/3 of 52 is equal to 52/1 (or 52 in its decimal form).
