Question

What no. should be added to -5/8 as to get -5/9?​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\underline{\bf { \red S \green O \pink L \blue U \orange T \purple I \red O \pink N \green{..}}}}$

Let x be the number

$\longmapsto \sf - \frac{5}{8} + x = - \frac{5}{9}$

$\longmapsto \sf x = - \frac{5}{9} + \frac{5}{8}$

$\longmapsto \sf \frac{ - 40 + 45}{72}$

$\longmapsto \sf \frac{5}{72}$

Answer 2

SOLUTION

Let, the number to be added be X

ATQ,

-5/8+X = -5/9

or X = -5/9+5/8

= (-40+45) /72

=5/72

So, required number is 5/72
