6 3/7 (7/8) = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that 6 and three sevenths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well first you need to convert your 6 into sevenths so in order to do that you can just \[\frac{6*7}{1*7}=\frac{42}{7}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 1*7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then add your 3/7 to that... your equation will looks like this now \[\frac{45}{7}*\frac{7}{8}=\frac{315}{56}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i simplify that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because in order to get it in sevenths, you must times the equation by 7ths... but you don't want to mess with the number so you times it by 7/7 which = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you can yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh , well can you ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{45}{8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't see but the 7's will cancel in my above step lea ving you with 45/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that goes into 5 5/8 ? right
