Question

3/8=r+2/3 what is r=?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{-7}{24}$=r

Step-by-step explanation:

3÷8=r+2÷3

$\frac{3}{8}$=r+$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{8}$-$\frac{2}{3}$=r

(make the denominators same)(LCM of 8 and 3=24)

$\frac{3}{8}$($\frac{3}{3}$)+$\frac{2}{3}$($\frac{8}{8}$)=r

$\frac{9}{24}$-$\frac{16}{24}$=r

$\frac{9-16}{24}$=r

$\frac{-7}{24}$=r
