Answer:
Hayden bought 36 baseball cards.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of baseball cards, you have to calculate the \(\frac{3}{4}\) of the total of cards
The total of cards is 48
You have to multiply the total of cards by \(\frac{3}{4}\):
\(48(\frac{3}{4})\)
To solve the multiplication of two fractions (because 48 can be written as \(\frac{48}{1}\)) you have to multiply the numerators of the two fractions and divide that result by the multiplication of the denominators of the two fractions
\(\frac{(48)(3)}{(1)(4)} = \frac{144}{4}\)
Solving the division:
\(\frac{144}{4} = 36\)
