Question

What is the unknown fraction? 100 POINTS

unknown fraction plus five-tenths equals fifty-eight hundredths


A five-hundredths

B eight-hundredths

C sixty three-hundredths

D one hundred eight hundredths

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

1. We have
   `(x)/(x)` +
   `(5)/(10)` =
   `(58)/(100)`
2. We can multiply
   `(5)/(10)` by 10 to get
   `(50)/(100)`.
3. Now we have
   `(x)/(x)` +
   `(50)/(100)` =
   `(58)/(100)`.
4. Now it's a simple case of subtracting
   `(50)/(100)` from both sides to get us
   `(8)/(100)`.
5. This would be answer B.

If I am incorrect in my reasoning, please let me know so that I can plan better for my future answers. Have an amazing day.
