Question

What number should be added to 3 by 8 to get 1

Answer 1

Answer:$\frac{5}{8}$ should be added to $\frac{3}{8}$ to get 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number that must be added to $\frac{3}{8}$ to obtain 1 be x

Thus, we have,

$x + \frac{3}{8} = 1$

⇒ $x = 1- \frac{3}{8}$

⇒ $x= \frac{8-3}{8}$

⇒ $x= \frac{5}{8}$

Hence, $\frac{5}{8}$ must be added to $\frac{3}{8}$ to get 1 as the result.
