Answer:
n = 95/14, or 6 11/14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be n. Then:
n - 1 2/7 = 5 1/2.
Multiplying each term by the LCD (which is 14), we get:
14n - 18 = 77
Then 14n = 95
and so the desired result is n = 95/14, or 6 11/14
A better way to word this is how much more is 4/9 than 2/9 which is 2/9 more because 2/9 plus 2/9 is 4/9 and the denominator stays the same
58
