Hey!
First, lets create an equation for your problem.
[tex] \frac{1,800}{7} [/tex] x [tex] \frac{?}{?} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{?}{42} [/tex]
The top part of our equation is the investment value, and the bottom is the years.
Now we have to find out what number times seven is forty-two. Now, if you know your multiplications, this is easy. If you don't, I'll provide a chart for you below.
7 x 1 = 7
7 x 2 = 14
7 x 3 = 21
7 x 4 = 28
7 x 5 = 35
7 x 6 = 42
7 x 7 = 49
7 x 8 = 56
7 x 9 = 63
7 x 10 = 70
Looking at the chart provided, we can see that seven times six equals forty-two. So, we will plug the number 6 into our equation.
[tex] \frac{1,800}{7} [/tex] x [tex] \frac{6}{6} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{10,800}{42} [/tex]
So, judging by the equation we just created and solved...
The investment is worth 10,800 after 42 years.
Hope this helped!
