what fraction when added to 1 over 8 results in a sum of 1 over 4
1/8 + x = 1/4
x = 1/4 - 1/8
x = 2/8 - 1/8
x = 1/8
but I bet you already knew that 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4 :)
1/8 + x = 1/4
x = (1/4) - (1/8)
x = (2/8) - (1/8)
x = ?
what another way to order mixed number from least to greatest without writing them as improper fraction
Write them as decimals.
To find out what fraction needs to be added to 1/8 in order to get a sum of 1/4, we need to solve the equation:
1/8 + x = 1/4
Where x represents the unknown fraction we are trying to find.
To solve this equation, we can start by isolating x.
First, let's get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides of the equation by 8:
8 * (1/8 + x) = 8 * (1/4)
Simplifying, we have:
1 + 8x = 2
Next, we can subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the variable:
1 + 8x - 1 = 2 - 1
Simplifying further:
8x = 1
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 1/8
Therefore, the fraction that needs to be added to 1/8 to get a sum of 1/4 is 1/8.
