if you wanted to turn 7 into 3rds

how would you solve this for x

Answer 4

Take the whole number (7) and multiply by 1 in the form of (3/3).
\[7 \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{21}{3}\]
Add that to the fraction and you're done.

Just keep in mind that every whole number can be represented as a fraction.
