Remember that multiplying is how many times you add a number to itself. If you multiply by 3, you add the first number to itself 3 times.
When you multiply a given number by 1, you get the first number (it doesn't change).
When you multiply by a number less than one, say, one half, you'll end up with half of the original number --> a smaller number.
When you multiply a number by more than one, you will get a number bigger than the original because you are adding it to itself more than once. Even if it is a fraction or decimal, if it is greater than 1, then the new product will be larger than the original number.

The answer is 1/3 is the answer.
Answer: 983.33
Step-by-step explanation:
(0.5+0.5) x 983.33
1 x 983.33 = 983.33
Number 1 = 17
number 2 = 72
number 3 = 24
work:
the three numbers are symbolized as x, y, and z
x + y + z = 113
number 2 (y) is 3 times the third number (z) so
y = 3z
so x + 3z + z = 113
the first number (x) is 7 less than than the third number (z) so
x = z - 7
so z -7 + 3z + z = 113
5z - 7 = 113
5z = 120
z = 24
x = 17
y = 72
Hope this helped :)
