Question

what no. should be added to -5/8 so as to get -3/2

Answer 1

Heya ✋

Let see your answer !!!

Let the required number to be added be x. Then ,

according to question,

- 5/8 + x = - 3/2

=> - 5 + 8x/8 = - 3/2

=> - 5 + 8x = 8 × (-3)/2

=> - 5 + 8x = - 12

=> 8x = - 12 + 5

=> 8x = - 7

=> x = -7/8

Hence , -7/8 must be added to -5/8 to get -3/2.





Thanks :)))

Answer 2

Let x should be added,


-5/8 + x = -3/2

x = -3/2 +5/8

x = (-12+5)/8

x = -7/8


Now,

-7/8 should be added.



I hope this will help you
