Question

15 3/4 = t + 4 5/8

Answer 1

Subtract both sides by \( 4 \dfrac{5}{8} \).

Answer 2

But 3/4 can't be subtracted by 5/8?

Answer 3

Turn 3/4 --->6/8

Answer 4

And Turn 4 5/8 --> 37/8

Answer 5

Oh duh, okay so it would be 15 4/8 - 4 5/8?

Answer 6

First, change all mixed numerals to fractions.
15 3/4 = 63/4
4 5/8 = 37/8
63/4 = t + 37/8

Answer 7

Then, multiply both sides by the LCD, 8
(8)(63/4) = 8t + (8)(37/8)
2(63) = 8t + 37
126 = 8t + 37
89 = 8t
t = 89/8
t = 11 1/8
