Question

What should be added to 15/16 to get 78/48

Answer 1

First, find a common denominator for 16 and 48, which is 48.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 15/16 by 3 to have a common denominator of 48:

Now, subtract 45/48 from 78/48:

78/48 - 45/48 = (78 - 45) / 48 = 33/48

Therefore, the difference between 78/48 and 15/16 is 33/48.

So, to find the number that needs to be added to 15/16 to get 78/48, it is 33/48.
