Question

Solve for N.

A . 18 5/8

B. 6 5/8

C. 4 5/8

D. 2 5/8

Answer 1

I bet you mean n right?

Answer 2

yes. that is what I said uptop "solve for n:"

Answer 3

oh I see "solve for N"

Answer 4

lets look at teh left hand side
\[(10+\frac{5}{8}+3+\frac{5}{8})+2+\frac{3}{8} \\ (10+3+2)+(\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{8})\]

can you add 10 and 3 and 2 together?

Answer 5

of course lol 15

Answer 6

ok can you add 5/8 and 5/8 and 3/8?

Answer 7

\[15+(\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{8})=n+12\]

Answer 8

hint you already have the same denominator

Answer 9

yes and that equals ..I got 1.625 or 1.6

Answer 10

you only have to add the numerators (5+5+3)/8

Answer 11

oh I guess we can write in fraction form later
I was trying to keep it in fraction form because the choices are written as fractions
but we can go to decimals if you want then write as fraction

Answer 12

I don't care :)

Answer 13

you don't want to write 1.6 that is an approximation

Answer 14

1.625 is correct
though

Answer 15

\[15+1.625=n+12\]

Answer 16

I thought before that the answer was B

Answer 17

well let's find out...
can you add 15 and 1.625?

Answer 18

16.625

Answer 19

and then subtract 12 on both sides

Answer 20

\[16.625=n+12 \\ 16.625-12=n\]

Answer 21

16.625-12? 4.625

Answer 22

yes 16-12 =4
so 16.625-12=4.625

so if the directions was to "solve for n" you would say 4.625
and there is only one choice above that says 4 and something

if the directions say "solve for N" you would say none of these

but as you said you meant to say "solve for n" :p

Answer 23

so 4 5/8? C

Answer 24

yes that does say 4 and something

Answer 25

5/8=.625
so 4+5/8=4.625

Answer 26
