Question

If p+q has a value of 12/5, and has a value of 4/5, what is the value of q? A. 5/8 B. 8/5 C. 1/3 D. 3/2 step-by-step

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given that p + q has a value of $\frac{12}{5}$

So the equation representing the relation will be,

p + q = $\frac{12}{5}$ --------(1)

Value of p is $\frac{4}{5}$

p = $\frac{4}{5}$

By substituting the value of p in the equation (1),

$\frac{4}{5}+q=\frac{12}{5}$

q = $\frac{12}{5}-\frac{4}{5}$

q = $\frac{8}{5}$

Therefore, Option B will be the correct option.
