Answer:
11/8
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 can be written as -2/1 whose equivalent fraction is -16/8 ( multiplying numerator and denominator of the number by 8 as it is the denominator of -5/8
to answer the question "What number should be added to -2 to get -5/8 ?" we will have to subtract -16/8 (-2/1) from -5/8. so it will be :
= (-5) - (-16)/ 8
= (-5) + 16/8
= 16-5/ 8
= 11/8
Check : 11/8 + -16/8 = -5/8
