since this is a multiplication, all the numerators are just factors of the product numerator and all denominators are just factors of the product denominator, so we can simply reorder them some, without changing the product.

$\bf \cfrac{7}{8}\times \cfrac{4}{15}\times \cfrac{3}{7}\implies \cfrac{7}{7}\times \cfrac{4}{8}\times \cfrac{3}{15}\implies \cfrac{1}{1}\times \cfrac{1}{2}\times \cfrac{1}{5}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 1\cdot 1}{1\cdot 2\cdot 5}\implies \cfrac{1}{10}$

The distance between the two islands shown on the map is 210 miles. A ruler measures the distance on the map is three 1/2 inches

BARSIC [14]

<span>210 miles equals 1 and 1/2 inches (3 1/2"s or 0.5"). 1 and 1/2" is equal to two 3/4" (3/4 + 3/4 = 1 and 1/2). 1.5" is equal to 210 miles, and 1.5" is equal to 2 * .75", you can divide 210 miles by two, which gives you 105 miles.</span>
