Question

How is 1/14x42=3 can someone? explain

Answer 1

This is why
`(1)/(14)` x 42 = 3

Explanation:

`(1)/(14)` x 42 can also be written as
`(1)/(14)` x
`(42)/(1)`

we can reduce diagonally by 7 so
`(1)/(14)` x
`(42)/(1)` =
`(1)/(2)` x
`(6)/(1)`

now we multiply across
`(1)/(2)` x
`(6)/(1)` =
`(6)/(2)`

6 divided by two or
`(6)/(2)` =
`(3)/(1)` or 3
