If Kate wants to cut 3/4 of her cake into 1/12 sized pieces, that would mean 1/4 of the whole cake is 12/12. If there are 3 of the 1/4 slices, then we would need to find out how much that is in twelfths by multiplying:

12 x 4 = 48

36/48 is equal to 3/4. If she is having 3/4, she is having 36 slices.

Check your work

To check our work we divide:

48 ÷ 12 = 4

Answer

Kate will have 36 slices of cake.
