Question

Solve for n.
8/3/4 + n + 2/3/8 + 4/1/2 = 23 and 1/8

Answer 1

Wanna make sure I did it right!

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

lol no thats apart of the problem = 23/1/8

Answer 4

If you are having a hard time understanding how to do the problems, here is a step by step look at how I did it.

\[8\frac{ 3 }{ 4 } + n + 2\frac{ 3 }{ 8 } + 4\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } = 23\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\]
That's the problem, right?

If so, you need to take all the whole numbers and turn them into their fraction equivalents. The problem would look like:
\[\frac{ 35 }{ 4 } + n + \frac{ 19 }{ 8 } + \frac{ 9 }{ 2 } = \frac{ 185 }{ 8 }\]

You need to simplify all the denominators (bottom numbers). The number 8 is the lowers common denominator we can use. You will need to multiply the fractions by 2's and 4's. The problem then would look like:
\[\frac{ 70 }{ 8 } + n + \frac{ 19 }{ 8 } + \frac{ 36 }{ 8 } = \frac{ 185 }{ 8 }\]

Now you can add them, because they have similar denominators. You would get:
\[n + \frac{ 125 }{ 8 } = \frac{ 185 }{ 8 }\]

Then just subtract and simplify!
\[n = \frac{ 185 }{ 8 }\ - \frac{ 125 }{ 8 }\]
\[n = \frac{ 60 }{ 8 } = 7\frac{ 4 }{ 8 } = 7\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
I think this is right, I hope I helped clear things up.

Answer 5

I might be wrong, I don't know, finals have fried my brain.
