One-seventh = 21/7 = 3 so three-sevenths = 3 x 3 ie 9.
1 and 6/7 or 27/7
In order to do this problem, you need to multiply directly. So, 2 over 3 times 6 over 7. First, we're going to do the top. 2 times 6 is 12. The bottom is 3 times 7, which is 21. Your answer is 12 over 21, but they can be both reduced by 3, so your final answer is 4 over 7.
Convert them to a common denominator, which in this case is 35 (5 x 7...the two denominators multiplied), so 3/5 becomes 21/35 and 4/7 becomes 20/35, therefore three fifths is greater than four sevenths.
To convert the improper fraction 6/21 into a mixed number, you divide the numerator (6) by the denominator (21). This division gives you a quotient of 0 with a remainder of 6. Therefore, the mixed number equivalent of 6/21 is 0 6/21 or simply 6/21.
