Question

As a fraction in simplest terms, what would you multiply the first number by to get the second? First number: 56 Second number: 57

Answer 1

We're asked to find a number x such that by being multiplied by 36 becomes 57, so we need

`\begin{gathered} 56x=57 \\ x=(57)/(56) \end{gathered}`

then

`56((57)/(56))=57`
