Which expression is A, in order to have a true equation A=5 −1 1/3 ?(1 point)
To determine the value of A in the equation A = 5 - 1 1/3, we need to simplify the expression on the right-hand side.
First, let's convert 1 1/3 to a mixed fraction:
1 1/3 = 4/3
Now, subtract 4/3 from 5:
5 - 4/3
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for 3 and 1 is 3.
So, we rewrite 5 as a fraction with a denominator of 3:
5 = 15/3
Now, subtract the fractions:
15/3 - 4/3 = (15 - 4)/3 = 11/3
Therefore, the value of A is 11/3, in order to have a true equation A = 5 - 1 1/3.
To find the expression that equals A in the equation A = 5 - 1 + 1/3, we need to solve the equation.
The right side of the equation, 5 - 1 + 1/3, can be simplified as follows:
5 - 1 = 4
1/3 = 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places)
Combining these values, we have:
4 + 0.33 = 4.33
Therefore, the expression A that makes the equation A = 5 - 1 + 1/3 true is A = 4.33.
