t + 1/4 = 5/9
t =???
t + 1/4 = 5/9
First change to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
t + 9/36 = 20/36
t = 20/36 - 9/36
t = ?
11/36?
Right.
To find the value of t in the equation t + 1/4 = 5/9, you will need to isolate the variable t. Here's how you can solve it:
Step 1: Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation:
t + 1/4 - 1/4 = 5/9 - 1/4
Simplifying the equation, we get:
t = 5/9 - 1/4
Step 2: Find a common denominator for 9 and 4, which is 36. Multiply each fraction by an appropriate factor to obtain the common denominator:
t = (5/9) * (4/4) - (1/4) * (9/9)
Simplifying the equation further, we get:
t = 20/36 - 9/36
Step 3: Combine the fractions:
t = (20 - 9) / 36
t = 11/36
Thus, the value of t is 11/36.
