How many quaters are there in 3 dollars?

Answer 1

There are four quarters in every one dollar, hence the name "quarter" (1/4 or a quarter of a dollar).

So, by the most basic exercise of multiplication we see that four quarters times three dollars yields 12 quarters.

4*3=12

Broken down, 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.

Even more, three groups of four is 12.

(1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1)=12
