Question

What number is missing if this expression is equal to 12: (8 + ?) / (3/4

Answer 1

The missing value is 1

Explanation:

We need to find the missing value, if the expression is equal to 12.

The given expression is:
`((8+?))/((3)/(4) )`

and the expression is equal to 12, so we can write:
`((8+?))/((3)/(4) ) = 12`

Solving to find the missing term

`((8+?))/((3)/(4) ) = 12\\(8+?) / ((3)/(4))=12\\Converting\:division\:sign\:to\:multiplication\:and\:reciprocating\:the\:term\\ (8+?) * ((4)/(3))=12\\8+?=12 * (3)/(4)\\8+?=3 * 3\\8+? = 9\\? = 9-8\\?=1`

So, the missing value is 1
