6. Ava had a rough day on the stock market. Her stocks dropped in value to
one third of what they used to be. If she currently has $140,000 in stock
value, how much were her stocks worth yesterday?
If 140,000 is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of what she had yesterday, then you just multiply the number by 3 because [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] times 3 is [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex], which is 1.
