To determine how many employees are taking Friday off from a total of 480 employees, where three-fourths of them are taking the day off, we can use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of employees taking Friday off} = \text{Total number of employees} \times \frac{3}{4} \][/tex]
Given:
- Total number of employees = 480
- Fraction of employees taking Friday off = [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex]
Calculating the number of employees taking Friday off:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of employees taking Friday off} = 480 \times \frac{3}{4} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Number of employees taking Friday off} = 480 \times 0.75 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Number of employees taking Friday off} = 360 \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct formula to determine the number of employees taking Friday off is:
[tex]\[ 480 \times 0.75 \][/tex]
In conclusion, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 480 \times 0.75 \][/tex]
