What is the capital of Egypt? ( Cairo )

1 Answer

  1. To perform the operation ( frac{1}{6} times frac{8}{7} ), you multiply the numerators and the denominators:

    [

    frac{1 times 8}{6 times 7} = frac{8}{42}

    ]

    Next, simplify ( frac{8}{42} ) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 8 and 42, which is 2:

    [

    frac{8 div 2}{42 div 2} = frac{4}{21}

    ]

    Since ( frac{4}{21} ) is not one of the answer options provided, we look for any miscalculations and find that simplifying ( frac{8}{42} ) gives us:

  2. To perform the operation ( frac{1}{6} times frac{8}{7} ), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

    1. Multiply the numerators: ( 1 times 8 = 8 ).
    2. Multiply the denominators: ( 6 times 7 = 42 ).

    So, ( frac{1}{6} times frac{8}{7} = frac{8}{42} ).

    Next, simplify ( frac{8}{42} ) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 8 and 42, which is 2.

    Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:

    – ( frac{8 div 2}{42 div 2} = frac{4}{21} ).

    Since ( frac{4}{21} ) isn’t an option provided, it seems like there may have been a miscalculation or misinterpretation with the options.
