Answer 1

Answer:

39 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x times 1/8 be added to 1/8 .

A/Q

x×1/8+1/8=5

=>x/8+1/8=5

=>x+1/8=5

=>x+1=40

=>x=40-1

=>x=39

So,39 times 1/8 is added to 1/8

Answer 2

Question :--- how many times 1/8 should be added to 1/8 so that the sum is 5 ?

Solution :---

Let us assume that, we add x time 1/8 into 1/8 , than their sum becomes 5 .

So,

→ ( x times 1/8 ) + 1/8 = 5

[ Times :- It is used to show the difference in amount of two things, by multiplying one of them by the stated number ]

→ ( x * 1/8 ) + 1/8 = 5

Taking 1/8 on Right Hand side and changing sign now,

→ x/8 = 5 - 1/8

Taking LCM now , in RHS

→ x/8 = (5*8 - 1)/8

→ x/8 = 39/8

8 will be cancel From both Denominator now,

So, we get,

→ X = 39 .

Hence, If we add 39 times 1/8 into 1/8 we get 5 as sum .

Verification :---

→ (39 Times 1/8) + 1/8

→ (39 * 1/8) + 1/8

Taking 1/8 Common now,

→ 1/8 * [ 39 + 1 ]

→ 1/8 * 40

→ 5
