Identify the missing denominator in the addition expression 8/11+1/? .(1 point)

1 answer

To find the missing denominator in the addition expression \( \frac{8}{11} + \frac{1}{?} \), we need the two fractions to have a common denominator.

Let's denote the missing denominator by \( x \). To find the sum, we need both fractions to have the same denominator:

\[ \frac{8}{11} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{8x + 11}{11x} \]

For the addition to be valid, we can set \( x \) equal to 11 to maintain the common denominator.

Thus, with a common denominator of 11, we have:

\[ \frac{8}{11} + \frac{1}{11} = \frac{8 + 1}{11} = \frac{9}{11} \]

So, the missing denominator \( x \) is 11.

The answer is:

11
