Question

4. What should be added to -5/8 to get 2/9 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

-66/72 or -11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer we will subtract 2/9 from -5/8

= -5/8-2/9

We will make the denominator same

So lcm will be 72

-5/8= -45/72

2/9=16/72

So,

(-45-16)/72

The negatives got added

So,

-66/72 Is the answer or the answer can be (-11/12)

Answer 2

Answer:

 We will get $\frac{61}{72} +\frac{-5}{8}=\frac{2}{9}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

        Given data:- $x+\frac{-5}{8}=\frac{2}{9}.$

        To find:- Value of missing term.

        Solution:-

• Let assume x to find the missing term.

• Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

• By using the transposition method.

        we get,

         $x+\frac{-5}{8}=\frac{2}{9} \\\\=>x=\frac{2}{9}+\frac{5}{8} \\\\=>x=\frac{2}{9}+\frac{5}{8} \\\\=>x=\frac{2 \times 8}{9 \times 8}+\frac{5 \times 9}{8 \times 9} \\\\=>x=\frac{16}{72}+\frac{45}{72} \\\\=>x=\frac{16+45}{72} \\\\=>x=\frac{61}{72}\end{array}$

        We will get missing term is $\frac{61}{72}.$
