s=6
21/14 simplified is 3/2 after you divide by 7. now you need to find a fraction that is equal to 3/2 with a denominator of 4. to do this you multiply both numbers in the fraction 3/2 by 2. you get 6/4. s=6.

Answer:

s = 6

Explanation:


(21)/(14) =(s)/(4)

1- cross multiply

21 x 4

= 84

-------------

14 x s

= 14s

SO..

14s = 84

2- to find 's' divide both sides by 14


(14s)/(14) = (84)/(14)

s = 6
