Answer 1

Given the equation :

$1\frac{4}{12}+\frac{10}{?}=2$

At first , we will find the value of 2 - 1 4/12

Then equating the result with the fraction 10/?

So, the value of 2 - 1 4/12 =

$2-1\frac{4}{12}=2-1\frac{1}{3}=2-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{6}{3}-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$

So,

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{10}{?}$

So, the required denominator is:

$\frac{3\cdot10}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15$
