"of" means multiply and "is" means equal
1. [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x = 14
x = 14(3) multiply both sides by 3 to isolate "x"
x = 42
2. [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]x = 14
x = 14(5) multiply both sides by 5 to isolate "x"
x = 70
3. [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]x = 14
2x = 14(5) multiply both sides by 5
2x = 70
x = 35 divide both sides by 2 to isolate "x"
4. [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]x = 14
7x = 14(8) multiply both sides by 8
7x = 112
x = 16 divide both sides by 7 to isolate "x"
Answers: 42, 70, 35, 16
