How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 4/4 of 97, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{4}{4}=\frac{x}{97}$ (where x represents 4/4 of 97)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $4\times 97=4x$
2. Which gives: $388=4x$
3. Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x: $\frac{388}{4}=\frac{4x}{4}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{388}{4}=x$ (or $\frac{97}{1}=x$)

Thus, 4/4 of 97 is equal to 97/1 (or 97 in its decimal form).
