Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

the number should be added to -5/8 to get 5/9.

To find:

The number should be added to -5/8 to get 5/9.

Step 1

Let, we can equate it as

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

then subtract $\frac{-5}{8}$ from both sides of the above equation,

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

Step 3

Simplifying the equation, we get

$x=\frac{80}{72}$

(Decimal:  x=1.18055 )

The value of x = 80/72.

Therefore, 80/72 is the number that should be added to -5/8 to get
