If three-sevenths of a number is 42, then five-sevenths of the same number is:

  • A.56
  • B.63
  • C.70
  • D.84

Answer: C

\[ \frac{3}{7}x = 42 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad x = 98 \]

\[ \frac{5}{7} \times 98 = 70 \]

Or directly: five sevenths is \( \tfrac{5}{3} \) of three sevenths, and \( 42 \times \tfrac{5}{3} = 70 \).
