fill in the missing fractions to create a true equation.
/5-1/2=3/
5/1 - 1/2 = 3/2
To solve this equation, you need to find the value of the missing fraction. Let's break it down step by step:
The equation is: 5 - 1/2 = 3/x
1. Begin by subtracting 1/2 from 5:
5 - 1/2 = 9/2 (Since 5 is equal to 10/2)
So now we have the equation: 9/2 = 3/x
2. To find the missing fraction, we need to isolate x. Cross-multiplying can help us do that.
Multiply both sides of the equation by x:
(9/2) * x = 3
Multiply both sides by 2/9 to solve for x:
x = (3 * 2) / 9
x = 6/9
So the missing fraction is 6/9.
To fill in the missing fraction, we can start by subtracting 1/2 from 5.
5 - 1/2 = 4 1/2
Now, we can rewrite 4 1/2 as an improper fraction.
4 1/2 = 9/2
So, the equation becomes:
9/2 = 3/?
To find the missing fraction, we can cross multiply.
(9/2) * ? = 3 * 1
9/2 * ? = 3
To solve for ?, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 9/2, which is 2/9.
? = (3 * 1) / (9/2)
? = 3 / (9/2) * (2/2)
? = (3 * 2) / 9
? = 6/9
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
? = 2/3
So, the missing fraction to create a true equation is 2/3.
thats not correct
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Let's correct it:
To fill in the missing fraction, we'll solve the equation step by step:
The equation is: 5 - 1/2 = 3/?
1. Start by subtracting 1/2 from 5:
5 - 1/2 = 10/2 - 1/2 = 9/2
2. Now we have the equation:
9/2 = 3/?
3. To solve for the missing fraction, we'll cross-multiply:
(9/2) * ? = 3 * 1
9? = 6
4. To isolate ?, we'll divide both sides by 9:
(9?)/9 = 6/9
? = 6/9
5. Simplifying the fraction, we find that:
? = 2/3
So, the missing fraction to create a true equation is 2/3.
