Answer 1

Given the equation :

`1(4)/(12)+(10)/(?)=2`

At first , we will find the value of 2 - 1 4/12

Then equating the result with the fraction 10/?

So, the value of 2 - 1 4/12 =

`2-1(4)/(12)=2-1(1)/(3)=2-(4)/(3)=(6)/(3)-(4)/(3)=(2)/(3)`

So,

`(2)/(3)=(10)/(?)`

So, the required denominator is:

`(3\cdot10)/(2)=(30)/(2)=15`
