1/9 plus what equals 1/3?
Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "1/9 plus what equals 1/3?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".
1/9 + x = 1/3
To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by subtracting 1/9 on both sides like this:
1/9 - 1/9 + x = 1/3 - 1/9
1/9 - 1/9 + x leaves x and 1/3 - 1/9 is 2/9 which means we end up with x = 2/9. Therefore, the answer to "1/9 plus what equals 1/3?" is as follows:
