120

Explanation:

Another way is to consider that #3/4# means the same as
"three, #1/4#s

To find a quarter means divide something by 4.

One quarter of 160 is #160 ÷ 4 = 40#

If one #1/4# is 40, then three of them will be 120.

OR as a diagram, draw a rectangle and divide it into 4 equal sections. There will be 40 in each one. (160÷4)

#3/4# means use 3 of the 4 sections, 40 +40 +40 = 120.
