Given:

A fraction=8/9

To find:

The number subtracted from (-5) to get the given fraction

Solution:

The number subtracted from -5 to obtain 8/9 is -53/9.

Let the required number be X.

We have to calculate the difference between X and -5.

On subtracting, we get

-5-X=8/9

-(5+X)=8/9

5+X= -8/9

X= (-8-5×9)/9

X=(-8-45)/9

X= -53/9

Therefore, the number subtracted from -5 to obtain 8/9 is -53/9.
