Question

What numbers should be added to -5by8 so as to get-3by2

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/8 is to be added to -5/8 to get -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the required number be x.

$= > - \frac{5}{8} + x = - \frac{3}{2} \\ = > x = - \frac{ 3}{2} + \frac{5}{8} \\ = > x = - \frac{( - 3 \times 4) + (5 \times 1)}{8} \\ = > x = \frac{ - 12 + 5}{8} = - \frac{7}{8}$
