Question

Solve y-12/25=3 1/5. What number is y? A. 3 1/5 B. 3 17/25 C. 3 7/25 D. 4 17/25

Answer 1

Answer:

Option c) y=$3\frac{17}{25}$ is correct

The value of y is 3$\frac{17}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is  

$y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}$

To solve the given equation for y

$y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}$

$y-\frac{12}{25}=\frac{16}{5}$  (converting mixed fraction to normal fraction )

$y-\frac{16}{5}=\frac{12}{25}$

$y-\frac{(16\times 5)+12}{25}$  (taking LCM 25 )

$=\frac{80+12}{25}$  (adding the terms )

$y=\frac{92}{25}$  (now convert fraction into mixed fraction )

Therefore y=$3\frac{17}{25}$

Option c) y=$3\frac{17}{25}$ is correct

The value of y is 3$\frac{17}{25}$
