Question

1 divided by 4 times a number plus 3 / 8 equals 7 / 8

Answer 1

start by writing the equation

$\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{7}{8}$

substract the 3/8 on both sides

$\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{4}{8}$

multiply by 4 on both sides

$x=\frac{4}{8}\cdot4$

simplify the right side

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{16}{8} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}$
