Question

Solve:
q-6/5=1/12
A. 7/17
B. 7/60
C. 1 17/60
D. -1 17/60

Answer 1

The choice C .

`1 (17)/(60)`

Explanation:

`q - (6)/(5) = (1)/(12) \\ \\ q = (1)/(12) + (6)/(5) \\ \\ q= (5)/(60) + (72)/(60) = (77)/(60) = 1 (17)/(60)`

Answer 2

q = 1
`(17)/(60)`

Explanation:

q -
`(6)/(5) = (1)/(12)`

Add
`(6)/(5)` to both sides.

q =
`(1)/(12) + (6)/(5)`

The least common multiple of 12 and 5 is 60. Convert
`(1)/(12)` and
`(6)/(5)` to fractions with denominator 60.

q =
`(5)/(60) + (72)/(60)`

Since
`(5)/(60)` and
`(72)/(60)` have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

q =
`(5 + 72)/(60)`

Add 5 and 72 to get 77.

q =
`(77)/(60)`

Add the 1 and you get:

1
`(77)/(60)`
