Question

If p+q has a value of 12/5, and has a value of 4/5, what is the value of q? A. 5/8 B. 8/5 C. 1/3 D. 3/2 step-by-step

Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

It's given that p + q has a value of
`(12)/(5)`

So the equation representing the relation will be,

p + q =
`(12)/(5)` --------(1)

Value of p is
`(4)/(5)`

p =
`(4)/(5)`

By substituting the value of p in the equation (1),

`(4)/(5)+q=(12)/(5)`

q =
`(12)/(5)-(4)/(5)`

q =
`(8)/(5)`

Therefore, Option B will be the correct option.
