Question

solve each of the following equations and and also verify your solution 1) 9¼ = y 1⅓​

Answer 1

$9 \frac{1}{4} = y 1 \frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{37}{4} = y \: \frac{4}{3}$

$y = \frac{37 \times 3}{4 \times 4}$

$y = \frac{111}{16}$

$9 \frac{1}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{111}{16}$

$\frac{37}{4} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{111}{16}$

$\frac{37}{4} = \frac{37}{4}$

LHS = RHS

Hence proved
