Two things I would do.

1)Convert 1 and 1/4 to an improper fraction (5/4)

2) Convert 5/4 into ?/8, by multiplying both numerator and denominator by the appropriate number to make that conversion work

After that the solution should be more obvious.

1 1/4 = a + 3/8

5/4 = a + 3/8

10/8 = a + 3/8

you must now minus 3/8 from both sides, which leaves you with a = 7/8

1 1/4 = 5/4 = 10/8 (common denominator of 8 with 3/8)

Subtract 3/8 from 10/8

A = 7/8

A = 0.875 or 7/8

I’ll show you how to solve the proble for future reference.

1) First write the problem:

1 1/4 = A + 3/8

2) The I change both fractions into decimals which would be:

1.25 = A + 0.375

3) Now your subtract 0.375 from 0.375. Cross that out. Now you are left with “A.” What you do to one side you got to do it to the other side since I subtracted, you subtract 0.375 from 1.25.

1.250 = A + 0.375 *xxxcross out 0.375xxx*

-0.375 = A + 0.375 *xxxcross out 0.375xxx*

——— = A xxxxx

4) Solve!

1.250 = A

-0.375 = A

———

0.875 = A or 7/8 =A

Hope This Helps

if i am doing my math correctly it is:

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

so if correct it should be 1 and five eighths.

unless you have the variable’s number
