First make 2 3/7 into a improper fraction
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
\(\sf\Large a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{ac+b}{c}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so 7 x 3 + 2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 23/7? @TheSmartOne
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
in my example, 2 would be 'a'
3 would be 'b'
and 7 would be 'c'
so try again :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7 x 2 + 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
17/ 7

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
correct
now here's another hint:
\(\sf\Large a \times \frac{b}{a} = b\)
So what is
\(\sf\Large 7 \times \frac{17}{7} = ?\)
@midnighti
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the fraction a division problem? like 17 divided by 7? and then I multiply by 7? @TheSmartOne
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
look at my hint
you won't need to divide
you need to simplify
also no need to tag me each time ._.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't have much time for this I'm still only on question 1 in math and I just need the answer

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
in your case, a = 7 and b = 17
do you understand? :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I never will understand fractions I'm stupid with them xD
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
now you are making yourself believe that so you have an excuse to not learn
