There are 81 houses in the community. If 7/9 are sold this year, then all you have to do is multiplication.
In this case, you would multiply 81 by 7/9 to get your answer.
81/1 x 7/9:
Cancel out the 9 and the 81. Then the denominator will be 1 x 1 and the numerator would be 7 x 9. It would be 63 (7x9=63) over 1 (1x1=1) which is just 63. Make sure to include units.
