Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is the same i. e., 4.375 in all the cases as shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac {3}{7} \times \frac {5}{6} \times \frac {1}{4}$

= $\frac {35}{8}$

= $\frac {3}{7} \times \frac {1}{4} \times \frac {5}{6}$

= $\frac {5}{6} \times \frac {1}{4} \times \frac {3}{7}$

= $\frac {5}{6} \times \frac {3}{7} \times \frac {1}{4}$

= $\frac {1}{4} \times \frac {5}{6} \times \frac {3}{7}$

= $\frac {1}{4} \times \frac {3}{7} \times {5}{6}$

= 4.375 (answer)
