Question

For each problem below find the missing factor by computing the inverse operation

Answer 1

Given:

There are given that the fraction:

`4(1)/(2)-\text{ \lbrack \rbrack}=2(7)/(8)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose missing information is x

Then,

Ater that we need to find the value of x

So,

`4(1)/(2)-x=2(7)/(8)`

Then,

`\begin{gathered} 4(1)/(2)-x=2(7)/(8) \\ (9)/(2)-x=(23)/(8) \\ (9)/(2)-x-(9)/(2)=(23)/(8)-(9)/(2) \\ -x=(23)/(8)-(9)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Now,

`\begin{gathered} -x=(23)/(8)-(9)/(2) \\ -x=(23-36)/(8) \\ -x=(-13)/(8) \\ x=(13)/(8) \\ x=1(5)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

Hence, the missing factor is shown below:

`x=1(5)/(8)`
