3/4 plus what equals 5/6?
Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "3/4 plus what equals 5/6?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".
3/4 + x = 5/6
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 = 5/6 - 3/4
3/4 - 3/4 + x leaves x and 5/6 - 3/4 is 1/12 which means we end up with x = 1/12. Therefore, the answer to "3/4 plus what equals 5/6?" is as follows:
1/12
It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 1/12 for x in this equation 3/4 + x = 5/6, we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.
