Final answer:

To find (1/3) times 84, multiply the numerators and the denominators together, then simplify.

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find (1/3) times 84, we multiply the fraction (1/3) by 84. To do this, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. The numerator of the fraction is 1 and the denominator is 3. So, (1/3) times 84 is (1 times 84) / (3 times 1) which simplifies to 84/3. Dividing 84 by 3 gives us an answer of 28.

Final answer:

To find (frac(1)/(3) times 84), multiply the numerator by 84 and keep the denominator the same. Simplify the fraction to get the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find (frac(1)/(3) times 84), we can multiply the numerator (1) by 84 and keep the denominator (3) the same.

(frac(1)/(3) times 84) = (frac(1 times 84)/(3)) = (frac(84)(3))

Since 84 is divisible by 3, we can simplify the fraction to:

(frac(84)(3)) = 28

Therefore, the answer is 28 (option a).
