Question

1 1/2= v + 3/4 (that's 1 and a half, not 11 over 2)
what is v?

Answer 1

v = 3/4

Explanation:

1 1/2 = v + 3/4

v + 3/4 = 1 1/2

v + 3/4 = 3/2 [ 1 1/2 = 3/2 ]

v = 3/2 - 3/4

v = 12 - 6/8

v = 6/8

v = 3/4

Verification:

3/4 + 3/4 = 3/2

6/4 = 3/2

Answer 2

The value of v is 3/4.

Explanation:

First, you have to convert mixed number into improper fraction :

`1 (1)/(2) \\ = (2 * 1 + 1)/(2) \\ = (3)/(2)`

In order to find the value of v, you have to substract 3/4 to both sides :

`(3)/(2) = v + (3)/(4)`

`(3)/(2) - (3)/(4) = v + (3)/(4) - (3)/(4)`

`v = (3 * 2)/(2 * 2) - (3)/(4)`

`v = (6)/(4) - (3)/(4)`

`v = (3)/(4)`
