Why we are multiplying it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because:

The denominator means how many equal parts the item is divided into.

120 ÷ 15 = 8 seats in $\frac{1}{15}$ part.

The numerator shows how many parts is taken.

8 × 7  = 56 seats are with passengers.

$\frac{Numerator}{Denominator}$ = $\frac{7}{15}$
