Answer 2

Answer:

(27/24) should be added to (-5/6) to get 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number or fraction that needs to be added to (-5/6) to get 7/24 be x.

∴ By the problem,

$-\frac{5}{6} + x = \frac{7}{24}$
$\Rightarrow x - \frac{5}{6}= \frac{7}{24}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6x-5}{6}=\frac{7}{24}$
$\Rightarrow 6x-5 = \frac{7}{4}$
$\Rightarrow 6x = \frac{7}{4} + 5$
$\Rightarrow 6x = \frac{7 + 20}{4}$
$\Rightarrow 24x = 27$
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{27}{24}$
