Question

What numbers should be added to -5/8 so as to get -3/2 ? ​

Answer 1

Let the number = x

-5/8 + x = -3/2

x = -3/2 + 5/8

x = 3/2 - 5/8

LCM of 2,8 is 8

x = (3/2×4/4) - (5/8×1/1)

x = 12/8 - 5/8

x = 7/8

Answer 2

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/8+ x=-3/2

x=-3/2+5/8

x=-12/8+5/8                                   (LCM=8)

x=-7/8
