Rules for Multiplication and Division of Fractions
- For Multiplication - First, you should multiply both numerators after that you should multiply both denominators. Finally, you can simplify if it is necessary.
- For Division- First, you should repeat the numerator and after that you should multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of denominators. Finally, you can simplify if it is necessary.
The question gives:
- A chocolate bar that weighs = 9/16
- A chocolate bar cut into seven equal parts.
Therefore, each part will be [tex]\frac{\frac{9}{16} }{7} =\frac{9}{16} *\frac{1}{7} =\frac{9}{112}[/tex].
For knowing the three parts weigh, you should mulitiply the previous value for 3. Thus,
[tex]\frac{9}{112}*3=\frac{27}{112}[/tex].

The weight of three parts is 27/112 pounds
How to determine the weight of three parts?
The weight of the chocolate bar is given as:
Weight = 9/16
When it is cut into 7 equal parts, the weight of each part is
Each = Weight/7
This gives
Each = 9/16 * 1/7
Evaluate the product
Each = 9/112
The weight of three parts is then calculated as:
Three parts = Each * 3
This gives
Three parts = 9/112 * 3
Evaluate the product
Three parts = 27/112
Hence, the weight of three parts is 27/112 pounds
