A colony of ants carried away 6 of your muffins. That was 2/7 of all of them! How many are left?

15 would be left, because: Half of 6 is 3, 3 is equal to 1/7. So if you multiply 3 times 7 you get 21. You would then subtract 6 from 21, which leaves you with 15.

If 2/7=6 then 1/7=3
So 3×7=21 I think
