Example Questions

Example Question #13 : How To Subtract Fractions

1.2 t +3.2 = 5.36

Which of the following is equal to ?

Possible Answers:

$t= \frac{3}{2}$

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

$t= \frac{9}{5}$

$t= \frac{7}{4}$

Correct answer:

$t= \frac{9}{5}$

Explanation:

1.2 t +3.2 = 5.36

1.2 t +3.2- 3.2 = 5.36 - 3.2

1.2 t = 2.16

$1.2 t \div 1.2 = 2.16\div 1.2$

Move the decimal point in each over one place:

$t= 21.6 \div 1 2 =1.8$

Rewrite as a fraction:

$t= 1.8 = \frac{18}{10} = \frac{9}{5}$
