Step-by-step solution

To find the missing number in the equation ?+28=34 ? + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{4} , we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify the fraction 28\frac{2}{8} to 14\frac{1}{4}.
  • Step 2: Recognize that we need to find a fraction that, when added to 14\frac{1}{4}, results in 34\frac{3}{4}.
  • Step 3: Set up the equation ?+14=34 ? + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} .
  • Step 4: Solve for the missing fraction by subtracting 14\frac{1}{4} from 34\frac{3}{4}:
    ?=3414=24 ? = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} .
  • Step 5: Simplify the resulting fraction: 24=12\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}.

Therefore, the missing number in the equation is 24\frac{2}{4}.
