Question

What should be added to 1 whole 4 upon 5 to get 8 whole 2 upon 5

Answer 1

Answer:

6 whole 3/5

Explanation:

Let the number added be x.

According to Question,

1 whole 4/5 + x = 8 whole 2/5

=> 9/5 + x = 42/5

=> x = 42/5 - 9/5

=> x = (42-9) / 5

=> x = 33/5 = 6 whole 3/5

Hence, 6 whole 3/5 should be added to 1 whole 4/5 to get 8 whole 2/5.
