Question

What number should be subtracted from -8/15 so as to get -5/16

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

-8/15 - x= - 5/16

if -8/15 transposes to r.h.s it becomes positive

-x= -5/16+8/15

l.c.m=240

-x=-75/240+128/240

-x=53/240

x=-53/240

therefore the number = -53/240
