What fraction should be added with -4/9 to get 6/17 ?

(A) 104/163 (B) 136/151 (C) 122/153


Sagot :

Answer:

(C) 122/153

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the required fraction.

(-4/9) + x  =  6/17

Add both sides by 4/9

x  =  (6/17) + (4/9)  

 =  (54 + 68)/153

 =  122/153

Answer:

  • x = 122/153

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create an equation to solve for the variable x. Then, isolate the x by adding 4/9 to both sides. Lastly, simplify and solve for the x variable.

  • -4/9 + x = 6/17
  • => 4/9 - 4/9 + x = 6/17 + 4/9
  • => x = 6/17 + 4/9
  • => x = 6(9)/17(9) + 4(17)/9(17)
  • => x = 54/153 + 68/153
  • => x = 122/153

Looking at all the options, Option C is matching with our result.

Hence, Option C is correct.
