Question

What does the a equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3 + a = 5/4 = 4/15

Answer 2

Answer:

$a = \frac{11}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of a we just solve the equation as follows....

$\frac{1}{3} + a = \frac{5}{4}$

$a = \frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{3}$

$a = \frac{15}{12} - \frac{4}{12}$

$a = \frac{11}{12}$
