warning no wrong answer​

Answer 1

✰Given:-

The product of two fractions is $\sf 32\frac{1}{2}$ One of them is $\sf 8\frac{1}{4}$

✰To Find:-

The second fraction

✰Solution:-

Let the second fraction be x

ATQ:-

$\large\purple \mapsto\sf \: x = 32 \frac{1}{2} - 8 \frac{1}{4}$

$\large\purple \mapsto\sf \: x = \frac{65}{2} - \frac{33}{4}$

(Taking LCM of 2 and 4 = 4)

$\large\purple \mapsto\sf \: x = \frac{65 \times 2}{2 \times 2} - \frac{33 \times 1}{4 \times 1}$

$\large\purple \mapsto\sf \: x = \frac{130}{4} - \frac{33}{4}$

$\large\purple \mapsto\sf \: x = \frac{96}{4}$

Convert the answer into mixed fraction as the question is given in mixed fraction

$\large\purple \therefore\sf \: x = 24\frac{1}{4}$
