How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 9/7 of 70, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{9}{7}=\frac{x}{70}$ (where x represents 9/7 of 70)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $9\times 70=7x$
2. Which gives: $630=7x$
3. Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x: $\frac{630}{7}=\frac{7x}{7}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{630}{7}=x$ (or $\frac{90}{1}=x$)

Thus, 9/7 of 70 is equal to 90/1 (or 90 in its decimal form).
