Question

If 1/4 + 1/8 + n + 1/2 = 1, find the value of n.

Answer 1

Given:

`(1)/(4)|+(1)/(8)|+n+(1)/(2)|=1`

To Determine: The value of n

Solution:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)|+(1)/(8)|+(1)/(2)|+n=1 \\ (2+1+4)/(8)|+n=1 \\ (7)/(8)|+n=1 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} n=1-(7)/(8)| \\ n=(8-7)/(8)| \\ n=(1)/(8)| \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of n is

`n=(1)/(8)|`
