How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 10/7 of 91, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{10}{7}=\frac{x}{91}$ (where x represents 10/7 of 91)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $10\times 91=7x$
2. Which gives: $910=7x$
3. Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x: $\frac{910}{7}=\frac{7x}{7}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{910}{7}=x$ (or $\frac{130}{1}=x$)

Thus, 10/7 of 91 is equal to 130/1 (or 130 in its decimal form).
