6/7 x 42 = I got 36 is this right
sure
1/7 of 42 = 6, so
6/7 * 42 = 6^6 = 36
or,
6/7 * 6*7 = 6*6*7/7 = 6*6 = 36
Thank you Steve :)
To determine if your answer of 36 is correct for the expression 6/7 x 42, you can follow these steps to calculate the answer:
Step 1: Multiply the numerator of the fraction (6) by the given whole number (42):
6 x 42 = 252
Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the fraction (7) by the given whole number (42):
7 x 42 = 294
Step 3: Put the result from Step 1 over the result from Step 2 to get the final answer:
252/294
Now, we can check if 36 is the correct answer:
252/294 is not equal to 36, so your answer of 36 is not correct.
To find the actual answer, divide the numerator by the denominator:
252 divided by 294 ≈ 0.8571428571428571 (rounded to 16 decimal places)
So, the correct answer to the expression 6/7 x 42 is approximately 0.857.
