6. Ava had a rough day on the stock market. Her stocks dropped in value to

one third of what they used to be. If she currently has $140,000 in stock
value, how much were her stocks worth yesterday?

Answer:

420,000

Explanation:

If 140,000 is
(1)/(3) of what she had yesterday, then you just multiply the number by 3 because
(1)/(3) times 3 is
(3)/(3), which is 1.
