Question

3/5 + blank over 3 equals 14/15. whats the missing number

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 + x = 14/15

we need to get a common denominator 15

3/5 * 3/3 = 9/15

9/15 + x = 14/15

subtract 9/15 from each side

9/15 - 9/15 + x = 14/15 - 9/15

x = 5/15

this simplifies  divide the top and bottom by 5

x = 1/3
