p - 3 2/3 = 1 1/3
p= 4 3/3 then do I simifly that ?
Yes.
so would that simifly to 4 or 5?
As Courtney told you in another post, 3/3 = 1. 4 + 1 = 5
what goes in 4 and 14
To find the value of p in the equation p - 3 2/3 = 1 1/3, you would first need to isolate p on one side of the equation.
Given that:
p - 3 2/3 = 1 1/3
To isolate p, you can add 3 2/3 to both sides of the equation:
p - 3 2/3 + 3 2/3 = 1 1/3 + 3 2/3
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
1 1/3 + 3 2/3 = (1 + 3) + (1/3 + 2/3) = 4 + 3/3 = 4 + 1 = 5
Therefore, the equation becomes:
p = 5 + 3 2/3
To simplify the expression further, convert the mixed number 3 2/3 into an improper fraction:
3 2/3 = (3 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 11/3
So, p = 5 + 11/3
To add the mixed number and the fraction, convert the mixed number to a fraction as well:
5 = 5/1
Now, you can add 5/1 and 11/3:
(5/1) + (11/3)
To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, it is 3 because it is the smallest number divisible by both 1 and 3.
Rewriting both fractions with a common denominator of 3:
(5/1) * (3/3) + (11/3)
Multiplying the numerators:
15/3 + 11/3
Now that the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators:
(15 + 11) / 3 = 26/3
So, p = 26/3 or p = 8 2/3
