Solve the equation w− 5 2/5=3 1/4 .(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve this equation, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

3 1/4 = 3 + 1/4 = 12/4 + 1/4 = 13/4

w - 5 2/5 = w - 5 - 2/5 = w - 25/5 - 2/5 = w - 27/5

Now we can set up the equation:

w - 27/5 = 13/4

To solve for w, we need to isolate w by adding 27/5 to both sides:

w = 13/4 + 27/5
w = (13*5)/(4*5) + (27*4)/(5*4)
w = 65/20 + 108/20
w = (65 + 108)/20
w = 173/20

Therefore, the solution to the equation w - 5 2/5 = 3 1/4 is w = 173/20.

Answer 2

simplify 173/20.

Answer 3

To simplify 173/20, we look for a common factor between the numerator (173) and the denominator (20) that we can divide both by.

In this case, the greatest common factor between 173 and 20 is 1 since 173 is a prime number.

Therefore, we cannot simplify 173/20 any further, and the simplified form of 173/20 is 173/20.
