Answer 2

Answer:

II. 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what should be added to -5/4 to get -1, we formulate the following equation:-

-5/4 + x = -1 =

x= -1/1 + 5/4 =

x= -4+5/4 ( Since the LCM of 1 and 4 is 4) =

x= 1/4

Hence, we have solved the equation and procured the answer, which is 1/4.

To check if the answer is correct, simply add 1/4 with -5/4 and check if you get -1.

-5/4 + 1/4

= -5+1/4

= -4/4

= -1

Therefore, the correct answer is (II) 1/4
