Answer: 2282
Explanation:
To get the answer, first we make an equation.
Lets use f for faults.
So we know that Patrick was born with 326 faults. He had 1/7 the number of faults he has now when he was born. The question is asking how many faults he has in total. Now we can set up our equation.
326 = 1/7f
326 is on the left of the equal sign because 326 is equal to 1/7 the number of faults he has now. Next, because 1/7 is 1 divided by 7, we multiply 1/7f by 7. We get 1f or f because there is only 1 f. But what we do to one side we must do to the other. So when we multiply 7 to 1/7f we also multiply 7 to 326. This is our answer:
2282 = f
