What is the missing fraction?
To solve this problem, we need to determine the missing fraction in the equation .
Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can focus solely on subtracting the numerators, as the denominators remain unchanged.
The numerators are and . To find the missing fraction, calculate the difference between the numerators:
Therefore, the missing fraction in the equation is .
Comparing with the options provided, the correct choice is option 2: .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
\( \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}= \)
The denominator tells us what type of pieces we're working with (fifths in this case). Since we're working with the same type of pieces, the denominator stays throughout!
Think of it as working backwards! If , then .
Then you'd need to find a common denominator first! But in this problem, both fractions already have the same denominator , making it much easier.
You could, but it's not necessary here! Since the denominators match, working with fractions is actually simpler and gives you the exact answer without rounding.
Substitute your answer back: . If both sides are equal, you've got it right!
