Question

Sum of two numbers is $\frac{3}{4}$, One number is $\frac{1}{8}$. Find the other one ?

• A. $\frac{5}{8}$
• B. $\frac{2}{4}$
• C. $\frac{5}{6}$
• D. $\frac{1}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{5}{8}$

The sum of x and 1/8 is 3/4.
Therefore,

$x=\frac{(3\times 2)-1}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$
