Answer:

The answer is the same i. e., 4.375 in all the cases as shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac {3}{7} \times \frac {5}{6} \times \frac {1}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac {35}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac {3}{7} \times \frac {1}{4} \times \frac {5}{6}[/tex]

= [tex] \frac {5}{6} \times \frac {1}{4} \times \frac {3}{7}[/tex]

= [tex] \frac {5}{6} \times \frac {3}{7} \times \frac {1}{4}[/tex]

= [tex] \frac {1}{4} \times \frac {5}{6} \times \frac {3}{7}[/tex]

= [tex] \frac {1}{4} \times \frac {3}{7} \times {5}{6}[/tex]

= 4.375 (answer)
