Let the required rational no. be x.

To find ,
what should be added to -7/18 to get 11/24

Now framing a linear equation for x.

$\frac{ - 7}{18} + x = \frac{11}{24}$

Now solving for x using transposition.

$x = \frac{11}{24} + \frac{7}{18}$
Now taking LCM

$x = \frac{33 + 28}{72}$

$x = \frac{61}{72}$
The value of x is our answer.
