Question

Fill in the blanks using transposition

$\frac{5m-4}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$ so $5m-4=\_\_\_\_$

Answer 1

Given $\frac{5m-4}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$

Transpose $12$ on RHS

$$\begin{gathered} 5m-4=\frac{{\displaystyle \stackrel{3}{\cancel{12}}}}{\cancel{4}} \\ \therefore 5m-4=3 \end{gathered}$$

Hence the value of $5m-4$ is $3.$
