Question

Which value for x makes the sentence true?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{40} + x = \frac{1}{8}$

$40( \frac{1}{40}) + (40)x = 40( \frac{1}{8} )$

$1 + 40x = 5 \times 1$

$1 + 40x = 5$

$40x = 5 - 1$

$40x = 4$

$\frac{40x}{40} = \frac{4}{40}$

$x = \frac{1}{10}$
