Question

In the equation 3/4y+1/2=3 1/4, the fractional coefficient is

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given equation:
`(3)/(4)y + (1)/(2) = 3 (1)/(4)`

In the given equation,
`(3)/(4)` is a coefficient and y is the variable.

coefficient is a constant number or quantity multiplied to a variable in an algebric expression. Like in the above equation
`(3)/(4)` is a coefficient and y is the variable. We use term variable for y as its value may vary or change. If variable does not have any coefficient in any expression then in that case, we consider 1 as coefficient, for example:
`x+4`, here variable have 1 as coefficient.

Hence, the fractional coefficient is
`(3)/(4)`.
