To find which expression gives a product of \( \frac{14}{9} \), we can evaluate the options given:
-
9 × 17 = 153 (not \( \frac{14}{9} \))
-
9 times 1 seventh = \( 9 \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{9}{7} \) (not \( \frac{14}{9} \))
-
2 × 79 = 158 (not \( \frac{14}{9} \))
-
2 times 7 ninths = \( 2 \times \frac{7}{9} = \frac{14}{9} \) (this is \( \frac{14}{9} \))
-
9 × 27 = 243 (not \( \frac{14}{9} \))
-
9 times 2 sevenths = \( 9 \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{18}{7} \) (not \( \frac{14}{9} \))
-
2 × 19 = 38 (not \( \frac{14}{9} \))
-
2 times 1 ninth = \( 2 \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{2}{9} \) (not \( \frac{14}{9} \))
The correct expression that gives a product of \( \frac{14}{9} \) is:
2 times 7 ninths (Option 4).
