Hiroshi multiplied 2/7 times 3 and got 6/21 . What final answer should he have gotten?(1 point)
2/7 is wrong!!!!!!!!!!
The correct answer should be 6/21 or simplified as 2/7.
To find the correct answer, let's multiply 2/7 by 3 step by step:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators: 2 x 3 = 6.
Step 2: Multiply the denominators: 7 x 1 = 7.
So, Hiroshi should have gotten the final answer of 6/7.
To calculate the correct answer, Hiroshi should first multiply the fraction 2/7 by the whole number 3.
The product of a fraction and a whole number is found by multiplying the numerators (top numbers) and denominators (bottom numbers). In this case, multiplying 2/7 by 3 would look like this:
(2/7) * 3 = (2 * 3) / (7 * 1) = 6/7
Thus, the final answer Hiroshi should have gotten is 6/7.
