Answer:
Let the required number be x. Then,
=(3/16)+x=(−3/8)
By sending (3/16) from left hand side to the right hand side it change to −(3/16)
x=(−3/8)−(3/16)
LCM of 8 and 16 is 16
Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.
Now,
(8×2)
(−3×2)
=
16
−6
=
(16×1)
(3×1)
=

Then,
=
