Question

If we can represent $\frac{29}{5}$ in the form of $a\frac{b}{5}$, then find the value of (a + b).

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is D 9

We have

$\frac{29}{5}=\frac{25+4}{5}=\frac{(5\times 5)+4}{5}=5\frac{4}{5}$

On comparing $a\frac{b}{5}$ with $5\frac{4}{5}$, we get
$a=5$ and $b=4$
So, $a+b=5+4=9$
