Question

what number should be added to -5/8 to get -3/2

Answer 1

Answer:

8-6 is the answer of your question

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/8

-8-5=-3

8-6=2

ans is -3/2

Answer 2

Let the unknown number be x

$\frac{ - 5}{8} + x = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 3}{2} + \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 12 + 5}{8} \\ \\ x = \frac{ -7}{8}$

So,the number is -7/8

Verification :

$\frac{ - 5}{8} + ( \frac{ - 7}{8} ) = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ \\ \frac{ - 5}{8} - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ \\ \frac{ - 5 - 7}{8} = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ \\ \frac{ - 12}{8} = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 3}{2} = \frac{ - 3}{2}$
