Question

(6TH GRADE)

15/7 + h = 37/7
h = 22/7.

choose the correct reasoning for why h=22/7
A. h=22/7 Because 37/7 is 22/7 more than 15/7
B. h=22/7 Because 37/7 is 22/7 less than 15/7

Answer 1

Given
`(15)/(7) + h = (37)/(7)`

When h =
`(22)/(7)`

`(15)/(7) + (22)/(7) = (37)/(7)`

We add 15 and 22 on the left side, because the denominators are equivalent.

15 + 22 = 37,
`(37)/(7)` =
`(37)/(7)`

So this statement is true.

That means the correct option is A.

Have a wonderful day! :-)
