addit together and you have your answer

Answer: 2282

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer, first we make an equation.

Lets use f for faults.

So we know that Patrick was born with 326 faults. He had 1/7 the number of faults he has now when he was born. The question is asking how many faults he has in total. Now we can set up our equation.

326 = 1/7f

326 is on the left of the equal sign because 326 is equal to 1/7 the number of faults he has now. Next, because 1/7 is 1 divided by 7, we multiply 1/7f by 7. We get 1f or f because there is only 1 f. But what we do to one side we must do to the other. So when we multiply 7 to 1/7f we also multiply 7 to 326. This is our answer:

2282 = f
