Question

What number should be added to 3/8 to get -1/24?
-5/12

Answer 1

YES DEAR, IT IS -5/12.

Let the no. which is to be added be as 'x'.

So,,, 3/8 + x = -1/24

x= -1/24 - 3/8

x= -1/24 - 9/24

x= (-1-9)/24

x= -10/24

x= -5/12

Hence, it is -5/12. Hope it helps. I wrote all the steps too just to confirm. Mark as brainlist if this satisfies you. Thankyouu :)
