Answer:
[tex]4\frac{19}{24}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope I did this right:
So first thing to do is set up the equation.
[tex]K + \frac{1}{3} = 5\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Next thing to to is subtract 1/3 from both sides to get:
[tex]K = 5\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Next up, you will multiply each of the fractions by the opposing value
(multiply 1/8 by 3 and 1/3 by 8)
[tex]K = 5\frac{3}{24}[/tex][tex]-\frac{8}{24}[/tex]
Alright almost done, by multiplying 24 by 5 you get 120, that will go in the numerator to make the math a lot easier.
K = [tex]\frac{123}{24}[/tex][tex]-\frac{8}{24}[/tex]
Finally, you subtract 123 over 24 by 8 over 24.
K = [tex]\frac{123}{24} - \frac{8}{24} = \frac{115}{24}[/tex]
Then just simplfy the 115/24 to get
[tex]4\frac{19}{24}[/tex]
