what is the value of n in the equation shown?...
what is the value of n in the equation shown? a b c d
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Represent fractions
The first fraction is $\frac{3}{4}$ (3 out of 4 parts shaded), and the second - fraction is $\frac{1}{2}$ (1 out of 2 parts shaded). The equation is $\frac{3}{4}-n=\frac{1}{2}$.
## Step2: Solve for n
We can rewrite the equation as $n = \frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}$. Since $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{4}$, then $n=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$.
The fraction $\frac{1}{4}$ is represented by 1 out of 4 parts shaded.
