2 1/4 = b - 1 2/3 what does "b" represent?

Answer 1

2 1/4 = b - 1 2/3
Add 1 2/3 to both sides:
(2 1/4) + (1 2/3) = b
b = 3 11/12

Answer 2

b in this case represents a variable that would make this equation true, let's solve for b:

b= 2 1/4 + 1 2/3 this is what b actually represents

To solve let's rewrite these mixed fraction as improper fractions

2 1/4 = 2 + 1/4 = 8/4 +1/4 = 9/4
1 2/3 = 1 + 2/3 = 3/3 + 2/3 = 5/3

so b = 9/4 +5/3 , now we must write these in terms of the common denominator, which in this case is (4)(3)=12

9/4 = 27/12 and 5/3 =20/12

b= (27+20) /12 =47/12 now let's rewrite this as a mixed fraction

47/12 is 3 with remainder 11 so the answer is 3 11/12

Answer 3

b=2 1/4 + 1 2/3 = 47/12 = 3 11/12

Answer 4

Add 1 2/3 to both sides to get b on one side.

2 1/4 + (1 2/3) = b - 1 2/3 + (1 2/3)

b = 2 1/4 + 1 2/3

b = 9/4 + 5/3 = 27/12 + 20/12 = 47/12

47/12 = 3 11/12

Answer 5

b is a variable and it stand for a numb u have to find
b= 2 1/4+1 2/3
b= 2 3/12+1 8/12
b= 3 11/12

Answer 6

This is just algebra.

Your first step is to change those mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/4 = 9/4
1 2/3 = 5/3

Tip: Changing a mixed fraction into an improper is simple. First, you multiply the denominator with the whole number, and then add the numerator. Keep the denominator.

For 2 1/4, I multiplied the denominator (4) with the whole number (2), then added 1, which gave me 9/4.

Now that they're changed,

9/4 = b - 5/3
9/4 + 5/3 = b

Give them a common denominator. It's 12.

27/12 + 20/12 = b
47/12 = b

Answer 7

2 1/4= b- 1 2/3

so if you add 1 2/3 to both sides you get

2 1/4 + 1 2/3 =b

or

2 3/12 + 1 8/12 =b

so b = 3 11/12

Answer 8

Try 3- 1/6

Answer 9

That is the "unknown" (it could have been any other letter) it is just a stand in for the value that you need to solve for.
In here, in this case, for the equation to be valid, "b" has to be 3 11/12

Answer 10

all you have to do is isolate b on one side of the equation by adding 1 2/3 to both sides and that's your answer.
