please help
just do the same thing as the first one
i know but i have problems adding and getting another mixed number
5(2/5)
thanks @sidsiddhartha
giveing them the answer is not right they need to learn
$$4 \frac{1}{5} + b = 9\frac{3}{5} $$ Bring 4 (1/5) over to the right side of the equation: $$b = 9\frac{3}{5} - 4 \frac{1}{5} $$ Subtract whole numbers (9-4) then subtract fractions (3/5 - 1/5) $$b = 5\frac{2}{5} $$
Several observations: your LCD ("lowest common denominator) is 5. Re-write 4 1/5 and 9 3/5 as improper fractions: 4 1/5 becomes (4*5+1)/5, and 9 3/5 becomes ... ??? Next, multiply EVERY term in your latest equation by 5, to eliminate the fractions. Rearrange your equation so that 5b is on the left and the other terms are on the right. Divide this latest who equation thru by 5 and you'll have the value of b.
sorry bout that
\[4\frac{ 1 }{ 5}=\frac{ 21 }{ 5 }~and ~9\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }=\frac{ 47 }{ 5 }\]
Re-write the original equation accordingly. Again, multiply the whole equation thru by 5. Isolate 5b on the left. Divide everything by 5 to obtain an equation for the value of b. Unfortunately, I have to get off the 'Net now. hope these suggestions at least get you started in the right direction!
