seventy fourteenths
seventeen fourteenths
seventeen twenty ones
seventy twenty ones

Answer 1

seventy fourteenths

Explanation:

seven = 7

ten fourteenth = 10 fourteenth

one-fourteenth = 1/14, so ten fourteenths = 10/14

7 * 10/14

when multiplying two numbers, multiply the numerators and denominators together separately to get your new numerator and denominator

7 = 7/1 as anything divided by 1 equals itself

7 * 10/14 = 7/1 * 10/14 = (7*10) / (1*14) = 70/14 = seventy fourteenths
