What should be added to \((\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5})\) to get 3? |
Answer» Let us consider a number as x to be added to (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5) to get 3 \(x+(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5})=3\\\frac{(30x+1\times15+1\times10+1\times6)}{30}=3\\30x+15+10+6=3\times30\\30x+31=90\\30x=90-31\\x=\frac{59}{30}\) \(\therefore\) the required number is \(\frac{59}{30}\) |
