The Problem:
- Subtract 4 from \(\frac{1}{6}\) of 42.
- Write an expression to match and then evaluate.
The Process:
Here are some early expressions that need attention.
- 1 sixth is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{6}}\)
- 1 sixth of 42 is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{6} \times 42}\) or \(\boxed{\frac{1}{6}}\) multiply 42.
Let us write an expression to match for subtract 4 from \(\frac{1}{6}\) of 42.
\(\boxed{\boxed{ \ \bigg(\frac{1}{6} \times 42 \bigg) - 4 \ }}\)
And now we evaluate the expression.
\(\boxed{ \ = \bigg(\frac{1}{6} \times 42 \bigg) - 4 \ }\)
We cross out 6 and 42 because they both can be divided.
\(\boxed{ \ = 7 - 4 \ }\)
Thus the answer is \(\boxed{\boxed{ \ 3 \ }}\)
Notes:
- Recall that \(\boxed{\frac{42}{6} \rightarrow 42 \div 6 = 7}\)
- Since \(\boxed{ \ \boxed{7}\boxed{7}\boxed{7}\boxed{7}\boxed{7}\boxed{7} = 42 \ }\), then one of six parts of 42 or \(\boxed{\frac{1}{6} \ of \ 42 \ equal \ to \ 7}\)
- Since \(\boxed{1}\boxed{1}\boxed{1}\boxed{1}\boxed{1}\boxed{1}\boxed{1} = 7\), then subtract 4 from 7 equal to 3, that is \(\boxed{1}\boxed{1}\boxed{1} = 3\).
