Answer 2

Answer:

Your question

What should be added to 26/5 to get 52/7.

Your answer

Let the no. be x,

According to the statement,

26/5 + x = 52/7.

x = 52/7 - 26/5

Taking Lcm of 7 and 5, ( to equalise the denominators) = 35

52×5/35 - 26×7/35 = x.

260/35 - 182/35 = x.

78/35 = x

Therefore x = 78/35.
