Answer:
a. 2, 3, 6
b. a/b × c = 1
c. a = 2, b = 6, c = 3 or a = 3, b = 6, c = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, Erica wants to multiply a fraction by a whole number to get a result of 1. That means the fraction is the multiplicative inverse of the whole number.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
There is only one set of three unique numbers among those given such that one of them is a composite number with the other two as factors. Erica must choose 2, 3, and 6.
__
<h3>b. </h3>
If the three numbers are represented by a, b, c, Erica wants ...
a/b × c = 1
__
<h3>c.</h3>
Multiplying the equation by b gives ...
ac = b
Among the numbers 1–6, only 2×3 = 6 will satisfy this equation. Erica can choose either of ...
a = 2, b = 6, c = 3 ⇒ (2/6)×3 = 1
a = 3, b = 6, c = 2 ⇒ (3/6)×2 = 1
__
<h3>d.</h3>
