Answer:
2 whole 8/35
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number added be x .
According to the equation , we get :
5 whole 1/5 + x = 7 whole 3/7
26/5 + x = 52/7
x = 52/7 - 26/5. [Using transposition]
The LCM of 5 and 7 is 35
35 / 5 is 7 and 35/7 is 5
we have to multiply 7 with 26 and 5 with 52 , as the denominators are 5 and 7 respectively.
=> 260/35 - 182/35 = 78/35 = 2 whole 8/35.
I hope you have understood the answer. Hope it helps!
