Question

How is 1/14x42=3 can someone? explain

Answer 1

Answer:

This is why $\frac{1}{14}$ x 42 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{14}$ x 42 can also be written as $\frac{1}{14}$ x $\frac{42}{1}$

we can reduce diagonally by 7 so $\frac{1}{14}$ x $\frac{42}{1}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{6}{1}$

now we multiply across $\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{6}{1}$ = $\frac{6}{2}$

6 divided by two or $\frac{6}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{1}$ or 3
