Solving for "c" in the Equation 1 1/4 + c = 2 3/4
This problem involves solving for an unknown variable, "c," in a simple addition equation. Here's how to solve it:
1. Understanding the Equation
The equation states that 1 1/4 plus some unknown value "c" equals 2 3/4.
2. Isolating "c"
To find the value of "c," we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 1 1/4 from both sides:
1 1/4 + c = 2 3/4
- 1 1/4 - 1 1/4
-------------
c = 1 1/2
3. Finding the Answer
Therefore, the value of "c" that makes the equation true is 1 1/2.
4. Verification
To verify our answer, we can substitute 1 1/2 for "c" in the original equation:
1 1/4 + 1 1/2 = 2 3/4
We can easily see that this equation is true, confirming our answer.
