k + 1/3 = 5 1/8

5 1/8 = 41/8

k + 1/3 = 41/8

Subtract 1/3 from both sides

k = 115/24

Answer 2

Answer: T = 4 19/24

Explanation:

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(41/8 × 3/3) − (1/3×8/8)= ?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

123/24 − 8/24=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

123− 8 divided by 24 = 115/24

The fraction 115/24 is the same as 115 divided by 24 so the answer is: T = 4 19/24
