Identify the missing, like denominator in the subtraction expression 3/5 - 1/?

3 answers

To identify the missing denominator, let's first find a common denominator for the fractions 3/5 and 1/x.

The common denominator should be the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and x.

The LCM of 5 and x is 5x.

So, the missing denominator is 5x.

Therefore, the subtraction expression is 3/5 - 1/5x.
Are you sure?
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's try again.

To identify the missing denominator, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions 3/5 and 1/?.

The common denominator should be the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and ?.

The LCM of 5 and ? is 5? since 5 is already the denominator for the fraction 3/5.

Therefore, the missing denominator is 5.
