3/4 plus what equals 5/5?


Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "3/4 plus what equals 5/5?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

3/4 + x = 5/5

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by subtracting 3/4 on both sides like this:

3/4 - 3/4 + x = 5/5 - 3/4

3/4 - 3/4 + x leaves x and 5/5 - 3/4 is 1/4 which means we end up with x = 1/4. Therefore, the answer to "3/4 plus what equals 5/5?" is as follows:

1/4
