Question

What should be added to 5/6 to get 41/24​

Answer 1

Let the number added by x
5/6 + x = 41/24
x = 41/24 - 5/6
x = 41 - ( 5 multiplied by 4) / 24
x = 41 - 20 / 24
x = 22 / 24
x = 21/3 / 24/3
Final answer x = 7/8

Answer 2

Answer: 26/24

Explanation:

First we have to convert 5/6 with a denominator of 24 so 6 times what makes 24, that is 4 & whatever you do with the denominator, you have to do it with the numerator. So 5 times 4 is 20, the new fraction is 20/24. Now, we need to find what we need to add with 20/24 to get 41/24, so we subtract 20/24 from 41/24 & that is 21/24. We can check if it's correct by adding both 21/24 and 20/24 & that makes 41/24.
