Question 10 • Mathematics 8

What is the value of x ? 6 point 7 5 plus 3 eighths x is equal to 13 and 1 fourth

Answer
A
18 and 2 thirds
B
53 and 1 third
C
2 and 7 over 16
D
17 and 1 third

Explanation

Subtract 6.75 from both sides: (3/8)x = 13.25 − 6.75 = 6.5. Multiply both sides by 8/3 to isolate x: x = 6.5 × 8/3 = 52/3 = 17 1/3. The correct choice is D, 17 and 1 third.
