Question

jamie wants to run a total of 9 miles thid week. so far, she has run 4 5/8 miles. use the equation 4 5/8 + r = 9​. please help me!

Answer 1

`r=4(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`4(5)/(8) +r=9`

Rewrite the expression to find the value of r:


`9-4(5)/(8)`

Subtract by finding the common denominator:

`9-4(5)/(8)`

`9=(9)/(1)`

`4(5)/(8) =8*4=32+5=37=(37)/(8)`

`(9)/(1) -(37)/(8)`

`(9)/(1) *8=(72)/(8)`

`(37)/(8) *1=(37)/(8)`

`(72)/(8) -(37)/(8)`

`72-37=35`

`=(35)/(8)`

`(35)/(8) =35/8=4(3)/(8)`

`r=4(3)/(8)`

`4(5)/(8) +4(3)/(8) =9`

Hope this helps.
