Question

ThE product of two numbers is 20 . if one the numbers is 6 1/4 what is the other number

Answer 1

13 3/4

Explanation:

So you have to think: 6 1/4 + ? =20

A way to find that out is 20 - 6 1/4

I like to split 6 1/4 into 6 and 1/4

First, you subtract 6 from 20

20 - 6 = 14

Then here is the tricky part:

14 - 1/4 = 13 4/4 - 1/4 = 13 3/4

Note: 13 4/4 is equal to 14 because 4/4 is equal to 1, so 13 + 1 = 14
