Answer :
To find the number that \( \frac{56}{9} \) should be multiplied by to get 40, we can set up the equation:
\[ \frac{56}{9} \times x = 40 \]
Solving for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{40 \times 9}{56} \]
\[ x = \frac{360}{56} \]
\[ x = \frac{45}{7} \]
\[ x = 6.42857142857 \]
So, \( \frac{56}{9} \) should be multiplied by \( \frac{45}{7} \) or approximately 6.43 to get 40.
