1/9 plus what equals 4/3?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "1/9 plus what equals 4/3?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

1/9 + x = 4/3

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 = 4/3 - 1/9

1/9 - 1/9 + x leaves x and 4/3 - 1/9 is 1 2/9 which means we end up with x = 1 2/9. Therefore, the answer to "1/9 plus what equals 4/3?" is as follows:
