Accepted Solution

A:
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)
