Tian has 56 paper clips. He gives 3/4 of them to Joe. Joe gives 2/7 of what he receives to Rahul. How many paper clips does Rahul get?

(3/4) * 56 = 168/4 = 42

(2/7) * 42 = ?

Thx for the answer to my homework!!! ;)

To find out how many paper clips Rahul gets, we need to follow a step-by-step process.

Step 1: Calculate the number of paper clips that Tian gives to Joe.
Tian has 56 paper clips. To find out how many he gives to Joe, we need to multiply the total number of paper clips by 3/4, because 3/4 represents the fraction that Tian gives away.
56 * 3/4 = 42 (paper clips)

Step 2: Calculate the number of paper clips that Joe gives to Rahul.
Joe receives 42 paper clips from Tian. To find out how many he gives to Rahul, we need to multiply the total number of paper clips by 2/7, because 2/7 represents the fraction that Joe gives away.
42 * 2/7 = 12 (paper clips)

Therefore, Rahul receives 12 paper clips.
