Given the numerical equation:
3/16 = c - 7/8
Solve for c.
Solution:
In order to solve for c, we simply need to transpose -7/8 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
3/16 = c - 7/8
3/16 + 7/8 = c
7/8 can be written as, 14/16 so that we can easily compute the given values.
3/16 + 14/16 = c
17/16 = c
Final answer:
17/16 = c
