How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 7/10 of 63, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: 7 10 = x 63 (where x represents 7/10 of 63)

  1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: 7 × 63 = 10 x
  2. Which gives: 441 = 10 x
  3. Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x: 441 10 = 10 x 10
  4. Which gives the result: 441 10 = x

Thus, 7/10 of 63 is equal to 441/10 (or 44.1 in its decimal form).
