Q. As a fraction in simplest terms, what would you multiply the first number by to get the second?First number: 42 Second number: 6742⋅□=67
Set up equation: Set up the equation to find the fraction.To find the fraction that you would multiply by the first number 42 to get the second number 67, you can set up the equation as follows:42×(fraction)=67Let's denote the fraction as yx, where x and y are integers and the fraction is in simplest terms.So, the equation becomes:42×(yx)=67
Solve for fraction: Solve for the fraction x/y. To solve for x/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 42: (42⋅(x/y))/42=67/42 Simplifying the left side, we get: x/y=67/42
Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction 4267. To simplify the fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 67 and 42 and divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD. However, since 67 is a prime number and 42 is not a multiple of 67, the GCD of 67 and 42 is 1. Therefore, the fraction 4267 is already in its simplest terms.
