Question

patrick was born with 1/7 of his faults and acquired the rest during his teenage years if he was born with 326 faults how many does he have in toral

Answer 1

2282

Explanation:

First we make an equation. We'll 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. That means 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.

So that's why it's 2282(as the answer).
