56

Explanation:

Every whole number is a fraction over 1. Because fractions are just division, if you divide the whole number by one, you get the whole number

So, in this problem, put the 72 over1

7/9xx72/1

When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators (top) together and the denominators (bottom) together

7/9xx72/1=504/9

Finally, because a fraction is just a division problem, divide 504 by 9. This would also mean that you are simplifying the fraction.

504/9=56
