Answer:
This is why [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex] x 42 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex] x 42 can also be written as [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{42}{1}[/tex]
we can reduce diagonally by 7 so [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{42}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex]
now we multiply across [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
6 divided by two or [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] or 3
