Q. As a fraction in simplest terms, what would you multiply the first number by to get the second?\newlineFirst number: 4242 Second number: 6767\newline42=67 42 \cdot \square=67
  1. Set up equation: Set up the equation to find the fraction.\newlineTo find the fraction that you would multiply by the first number 4242 to get the second number 6767, you can set up the equation as follows:\newline42×(fraction)=6742 \times (\text{fraction}) = 67\newlineLet's denote the fraction as xy\frac{x}{y}, where xx and yy are integers and the fraction is in simplest terms.\newlineSo, the equation becomes:\newline42×(xy)=6742 \times \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) = 67
  2. Solve for fraction: Solve for the fraction x/yx/y. To solve for x/yx/y, we need to isolate the fraction on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 4242: (42(x/y))/42=67/42(42 \cdot (x/y)) / 42 = 67 / 42 Simplifying the left side, we get: x/y=67/42x/y = 67 / 42
  3. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction 6742\frac{67}{42}. To simplify the fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 6767 and 4242 and divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD. However, since 6767 is a prime number and 4242 is not a multiple of 6767, the GCD of 6767 and 4242 is 11. Therefore, the fraction 6742\frac{67}{42} is already in its simplest terms.
