If the sum of fractions $\frac{3}{4}, \frac{a}{4}$ is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$ then the unknown numerator a is
Given:
The sum of fractions $\frac{3}{4}, \frac{a}{4}$ is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$.
To do:
We have to find the unknown numerator $a$.
Solution:
$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{a}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{3+a}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$
Comparing the numerators on both sides, we get,
$3+a=1$
$a=1-3$
$a=-2$
The value of $a$ is $-2$.
