What is the value of x ? x plus 4 ninths is equal to 3 fourths
Answer
A
11 over 36
B
1 third
C
1 and 11 over 16
D
1 and 7 over 16
Explanation
Subtract 4/9 from both sides: x = 3/4 − 4/9. Use a common denominator of 36: 3/4 = 27/36 and 4/9 = 16/36, so x = 27/36 − 16/36 = 11/36. The correct choice is 11 over 36.
