Solve 1/4=5/4*73/8

$$\frac { 1 } { 4 } = \frac { 5 } { 4 } \times 7 \frac { 3 } { 8 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 4,8.

$$2=\frac{5}{4}\left(7\times 8+3\right)$$

Multiply 7 and 8 to get 56.

$$2=\frac{5}{4}\left(56+3\right)$$

Add 56 and 3 to get 59.

$$2=\frac{5}{4}\times 59$$

Express \frac{5}{4}\times 59 as a single fraction.

$$2=\frac{5\times 59}{4}$$

Multiply 5 and 59 to get 295.

$$2=\frac{295}{4}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.

$$\frac{8}{4}=\frac{295}{4}$$

Compare \frac{8}{4} and \frac{295}{4}.

$$\text{false}$$
