Question

Find number which when added to numerator and denominator of fraction 5/2 make it equal to 4/3

Answer 1

answer=-7/6

step by step explanation

let the no be x

5/2+x=4/3

x=8-15/6

x=-7/6

Answer 2

The number that should be added to 5/2 to get 4/3 is -(7/6)

Given:

5/2

To find:

Number which when added to numerator and denominator of fraction 5/2 make it equal to 4/3

Solution:

Let x be the number which is added to numerator and denominator of fraction 5/2 make it equal to 4/3

Then  $\frac{5}{2} + x = \frac{4}{3}$  

⇒  $x = \frac{4}{3} -\frac{5}{2}$

⇒  $x = \frac{8 - 15}{6}$

⇒  $x = - \frac{7}{6}$  

[ Here  $\frac{4}{3} < \frac{5}{2}$  then their difference will be in negative ]

Therefore, the number that should be added to 5/2 to get 4/3 is -(7/6)
