what is the answer to this problem
m + 3 4/5 = 6 2/5
m + 3 4/5 = 6 2/5
m = 6 2/5 - 3 4/5
m = 5 7/5 = 3 4/5
m = 2 3/5
Thank you, now I get it.
You're welcome.
I see I made a typo. It should be:
m = 5 7/5 - 3 4/5
To find the value of "m" in the equation "m + 3 4/5 = 6 2/5," we need to isolate "m" on one side of the equation.
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
3 4/5 can be written as (3 × 5 + 4) / 5 = 19/5
Similarly, 6 2/5 can be written as (6 × 5 + 2) / 5 = 32/5
Now the equation becomes:
m + 19/5 = 32/5
Step 2: To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator (5).
(5) * (m + 19/5) = (5) * (32/5)
This simplifies to:
5m + 19 = 32
Step 3: Next, we isolate "m" by subtracting 19 from both sides of the equation.
5m + 19 - 19 = 32 - 19
Simplifying further:
5m = 13
Step 4: Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for "m."
(5m)/5 = 13/5
The answer is:
m = 13/5 or 2 3/5
