Solve the equation v-4/5=3/8?

Hi,

v - 4/5 = 3/8
Add 4/5 to both sides. Then get a common denominator of 40 so fractions can be added.

v = 3/8 + 4/5

v = 15/40 + 32/40

v = 47/40

v = 1 7/40 as a mixed number <==ANSWER

I hope that helps!! :-)

v - 4/5 = 3/8
v = 3/8 + 4/5
v = 15/40 + 32/40
v = 47/40
v = 1 7/40

v - (4/5) = 3/8
v = 3/8 + 4/5
v = 47/40
v = 1 7/40

Note
It is best to use brackets to clarify how question is meant to be read
ie
v - (4/5) = 3/8

17/40
