Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of v is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$1 \frac{1}{2} \\ = \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} \\ = \frac{3}{2}$

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

$\frac{3}{2} = v + \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{4} = v + \frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{4}$

$v = \frac{3 \times 2}{2 \times 2} - \frac{3}{4}$

$v = \frac{6}{4} - \frac{3}{4}$

$v = \frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

v = 3/4

Step-by-step 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
