Question

What should be added to - 16/3 to make it 1/9?
What should be subtracted from 5/8 to make it -1?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 49/9         2)13/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1)LET THE NO. BE x.

=>(-16/3)+x = 1/9

=>x=1/9-(-16/3)

=>x=1/9+16/3

=> LCM OF 9 AND 3=9

=>x = 1/9+48/9

=>x = 49/9

2)LET THE NO. BE y.

=>5/8-y = -1

=>5/8+1 = y

=>LCM OF 8 AND 1=8

=>5/8+8/8 = y

=>13/8 = y

HOPE THE ANSWER IS CORRECT.

Answer 2

(1.) Let x be added to -16/3 to make it 1/9

$</strong><strong>→</strong><strong> \frac{ - 16}{3} + x = \frac{1}{9} \\ \\ </strong><strong>→</strong><strong> x = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{16}{3} \\ \\ </strong><strong>→</strong><strong> x = \frac{1 + 48}{9} \\ \\ </strong><strong>→</strong><strong> x = \frac{49}{9}$

(2.) Let x be subtracted to 5/8 to make it -1

$→ \frac{5}{8} - x = - 1 \\ \\ → ( - x) = - 1 - \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ → ( - x) = \frac{ - 8 - 5}{8} \\ \\ → ( - x) = \frac{ - 13}{8} \\ \\ → x = \frac{13}{8}$
