Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the question translates to asking how many times does 7/8 fit in 21, so 21 divided by 7/8.

when we divide by a fraction, we can multiply by it's inverse, so 21 divided by 7/8, is 21 multiplied by 8/7. so:

21×8/7 = (21×8)/7 = (21/7)×8 = 3×8 = 24

erica [24]

Answer:

$2 \times x \times \frac{1}{x} = 2 \\ {x}^{2} + {y }^{2} + 2xy = {(x + y)}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} + \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} } + 2 = {(x + \frac{1}{x} })^{2} = {3}^{2} = 9$
