Answer:

Let the number to be found be x.

3/7 of which is 2 1/14

The above expression is written as

3/7x = 2 1/14

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

That's

3/7x = 29/14

Multiply both sides by 14

We get

3/7x × 14 = 29/14×14

6x = 29

Divide both sides by 6

x = 29/6 or 4 5/6

Hope this helps you
