The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 3\frac{1}{5} + 5\frac{1}{2} - 3\frac{2}{3} = ? + 1\frac{1}{4} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions 1. Convert \( 3\frac{1}{5} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 3\frac{1}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 1}{5} = \frac{15 + 1}{5} = \frac{16}{5} \] 2. Convert \( 5\frac{1}{2} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 5\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{10 + 1}{2} = \frac{11}{2} \] 3. Convert \( 3\frac{2}{3} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 3\frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{9 + 2}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \] 4. Convert \( 1\frac{1}{4} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the equation Now, we can rewrite the equation using the improper fractions: \[ \frac{16}{5} + \frac{11}{2} - \frac{11}{3} = ? + \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 3: Find a common denominator To solve this, we need a common denominator for \( 5, 2, 3, \) and \( 4 \). The least common multiple (LCM) of these denominators is \( 60 \). ### Step 4: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator 1. Convert \( \frac{16}{5} \): \[ \frac{16}{5} = \frac{16 \times 12}{5 \times 12} = \frac{192}{60} \] 2. Convert \( \frac{11}{2} \): \[ \frac{11}{2} = \frac{11 \times 30}{2 \times 30} = \frac{330}{60} \] 3. Convert \( \frac{11}{3} \): \[ \frac{11}{3} = \frac{11 \times 20}{3 \times 20} = \frac{220}{60} \] 4. Convert \( \frac{5}{4} \): \[ \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5 \times 15}{4 \times 15} = \frac{75}{60} \] ### Step 5: Substitute back into the equation Now we can substitute these values back into the equation: \[ \frac{192}{60} + \frac{330}{60} - \frac{220}{60} = ? + \frac{75}{60} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the left side Combine the fractions on the left side: \[ \frac{192 + 330 - 220}{60} = ? + \frac{75}{60} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 192 + 330 = 522 \] \[ 522 - 220 = 302 \] So we have: \[ \frac{302}{60} = ? + \frac{75}{60} \] ### Step 7: Isolate the question mark To isolate \( ? \), we can subtract \( \frac{75}{60} \) from both sides: \[ ? = \frac{302}{60} - \frac{75}{60} = \frac{302 - 75}{60} = \frac{227}{60} \] ### Step 8: Convert back to a mixed number To convert \( \frac{227}{60} \) back to a mixed number: 1. Divide \( 227 \) by \( 60 \): - \( 60 \) goes into \( 227 \) three times (since \( 3 \times 60 = 180 \)). - The remainder is \( 227 - 180 = 47 \). Thus, we have: \[ ? = 3\frac{47}{60} \] ### Final Answer The value that comes in place of the question mark is \( 3\frac{47}{60} \). ---
