Answer to Problem 7PSQ

28

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Expression $32\times \frac{7}{8}$

Formula / Concept Used: Factorization

Calculation:

To find the product, break all numbers into its factors and then cancel out the same numerator& denominator. So here -

  $32\times \frac{7}{8}=8\times 4\times \frac{7}{8}$

Writing 32 as product of its factors. Since 8 is in both numerator & denominator, it cancels out.

  $8\times 4\times \frac{7}{8}=4\times 7=28$

Conclusion-
