Kerry added N to 2 3/5 and got 6. What is a the value of N
N + 2 3/5 = 6
N = 6 - 2 3/5
N = ?
3.4
Correct
To find the value of N, we need to break down the information given and solve the equation.
Let's break down the sentence:
"Kerry added N to 2 3/5 and got 6."
Here, Kerry added N to 2 3/5, which can also be written as a mixed number, 2 + 3/5 = 13/5.
So, the equation becomes: N + 13/5 = 6.
To find the value of N, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 13/5 from both sides of the equation:
N + 13/5 - 13/5 = 6 - 13/5.
Simplifying the equation, we get:
N + 13/5 - 13/5 = 6 - 13/5.
N = 30/5 - 13/5.
N = 17/5.
Therefore, the value of N is 17/5.
