Question

what should be added to7/12 to get 1/24

Answer 1

hey dear



here is your answer



Solution



Let the number added be x



7/12 + x = 1 /24


x = 1/24 - 7/12


x = ( take lcm of 12 , 24 is 24)



x = 1/24 - 7*2 /12 *2


x = 1/24 - 14 /24


x = -13/24




hence answer is -13 /24



hope it helps


thank you

Heya !!

Here's your answer...⬇⬇

Solution :- Let the number be ( x ).

Given that ..,

$x + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{1}{24} \\ \\ x = \frac{1}{24} - \frac{7}{12} \\ \\by \: \: taking \: \: lcm \: \: of \: \: 24 \: \: and \: \: 12 \\ \\ x = \frac{1}{24} \times \frac{1}{1} - \frac{7}{12} \times \frac{2}{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{1}{24} - \frac{14}{24} \\ \\ x = \frac{1 - 14}{24} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 13}{24} \\ \\ hence \: \: adding \: \: \frac{ - 13}{24} \: \: in \: \: \frac{7}{12} \: \: we \: \: get \: \: \frac{1}{24} \\ \\ = x + \frac{7}{12} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 13}{24} + \frac{7}{12} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 13}{24} \times \frac{1}{1} + \frac{7}{12} \times \frac{2}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 13}{24} + \frac{14}{24} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 13 + 14}{24} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{24}$
Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S ---( Verified )


-13/24 Should be added to 7/12 to get 1/24.



HOPE IT HELPS..
