Which expression is A, in order to have a true equation A=5−11/3?
A = 5 - 11/3 can be simplified by finding a common denominator for 5 and 11/3. The common denominator is 3.
Next, we convert 5 into a fraction with a denominator of 3:
5 = 5/1 * 3/3 = 15/3
Now, the equation becomes:
A = 15/3 - 11/3
To have a true equation, A should equal the simplified expression:
A = (15 - 11)/3
A = 4/3
To find the value of A in order to have a true equation A = 5 - 11/3, we need to simplify the expression on the right side of the equation.
First, let's find the common denominator for 5 and 11/3, which is 3:
A = (5 * 3) - 11/3
Next, we multiply 5 by 3:
A = 15 - 11/3
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 3:
A = (15 * 3)/3 - 11/3
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
A = (45 - 11)/3
Finally, we simplify the expression:
A = 34/3
Therefore, A is equal to 34/3.
