3/4 of 100 = 33.3333333333

Okay, so I know what the answer is, but I don't want to give you direct answers.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im leaving this to you @Liv1234
OpenStudy (liv1234):
Okay, thank you.

So, we know that 8 is not a multiple of 6, but it is a multiple of 4, which means that D, is not the answer.
