Question

Borrow 1 from the whole number to rewrite 8 10/24.

a. 7 34/24
b. 7 20/24
c. 8 34/24
d. 8 24/24

Answer 1

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

since we have given that

`8(10)/(24)`

We need to borrow 1 from the whole number.

If we borrow 1 from whole number then 1 need to be added with the fraction part.

`8(10)/(24)-1\\\\=7(1+(10)/(24))\\\\=7(10+24)/(24)\\\\=7(34)/(24)`

So, it becomes,

`7(34)/(24)`

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.

Answer 2

A.
`7(34)/(24)`

Explanation:

We are given the expression,
`8(10)/(24)`

On re-writing the expression after borrowing 1, we have,

`8(10)/(24)` =
`7((10)/(24)+1)`

i.e.
`8(10)/(24)` =
`7((10)/(24)+(24)/(24))`

i.e.
`8(10)/(24)` =
`7(34)/(24)`

Thus, the equivalent expression after borrowing 1 from the given expression is
`7(34)/(24)`.

Hence, option A is correct.
