Which expression is A, in order to have a true equation A=5−11/3?

1 answer

A = 5 - 11/3 can be simplified by finding a common denominator for 5 and 11/3. The common denominator is 3.

Next, we convert 5 into a fraction with a denominator of 3:
5 = 5/1 * 3/3 = 15/3

Now, the equation becomes:
A = 15/3 - 11/3

To have a true equation, A should equal the simplified expression:

A = (15 - 11)/3
A = 4/3
