Question

n/2 - 2n/16 = 3/8

Answer 1

n=1

Answer 2

How?

Answer 3

put 1 in for "n" and work it out

Answer 4

if you put 1 in you would get \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }-\frac{ 2*1 }{ 16 } \] which will be\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }-\frac{ 2 }{ 16 }\] and im hoping you know how to subtract factions

Answer 5

\[\frac{n}{2}- \frac{2n}{16} = \frac{3}{8}\] take the LCM of the denominators on the left hand side

Answer 6

then divide the LCM by each denominator and multiply the numerators by the respective coefficients and combine the fractions \[\frac{8n-2n}{16} = \frac{3}{8}\]

Answer 7

\[\frac{6n}{16}= \frac{3}{8}\] upon simplification this would give us the value of n

Answer 8

any doubts?

Answer 9

Oh, I understand. Thank you!
