Question

What do you add to 2 7/8 to make 5

Answer 1

Answer:

2 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8 is the same as 0.875 and therefore you need 0.125 also known as 1/8 to make it a whole number. When you add it to the already existing whole 2 you get three. Subtract three from five to make two which is what you need to add on top to finally get 5.
