Question

what number should be added to -5/8so as to get -3/2. and please reply fast ​

Answer 1

$\frac{ - 7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us think the number as x

so

$x + \frac{ - 5}{8} = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ = > x = \frac{ - 3}{2} - \frac{ - 5}{8} \\ = > x = \frac{ ( - 3 \times 4) - ( - 5)}{8} \\ = > x = \frac{ - 12 + 5}{8} \\ = > x = \frac{ - 7}{8}$

Hence -7/8 should be added to -5/8 to make -3/2.

hope it helps.
