Question

what number should be added to 5/12 to get 2 5/8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

21/8 –5/12 =53/24 = 2 5/24

Answer 2

As per the data given in the above question.

We have to find the number .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a number be x.

According to question the equation becomes:

$x + \frac{5}{12} = 2 \frac{5}{8}$

Here x is a number which we have to find .

STEP-1:

First solve the right hand side value .

We have to multiply 8 by 2 and then add the multiple answer to 5 ,the equation becomes

$x + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{21}{8}$

STEP-2:

Shift the constant value toward Right hand side, we get

$x = \frac{21}{8} - \frac{5}{12}$

Take LCM of 8 and 12 we get 96

$x = \frac{(21 \times 12) - (5 \times 8)}{96}$

Multiply the terms ,

$x = \frac{252 - 40}{96}$

$x = \frac{212}{96}$

STEP-3:

Divide the above value by 4

$x = \frac{212 \div 4}{96 \div 4}$

$x = \frac{53}{24}$

or in mixed fraction

$x = 2 \frac{5}{24}$

$2 \frac{5}{24} \: should \: be \: added \: to \: \frac{5}{12} \: to \: get \: 2 \frac{5}{8}$
