Since the answer needs to be greater than 2 either the fraction needs to be an improper fraction ( meaning the fraction would be greater than 1) or the whole number would need to be greater than 2.
Step-by-step explanation:A customer gets 2 free books for every 7 purchased books. Larry purchased 21 books, and you need to find how many free books he got. Write a proportion.
2 free books
7 purchased books
=
? free books
21 purchased books
Compare the denominators.
2 free books
7purchased books
=
? free books
21purchased books
To get from 7 to 21, multiply by 3. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 to find the number of free books Larry got.
