Question

what should be added to -3/5 to get -1/3?​

Answer 1

Answer:

4/5 should be added

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

$x + ( \frac{ - 3}{5} ) = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

$x - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

$x = \frac{ - 1}{3} + \frac{3}{5}$

$x = \frac{( - 1 \times 5) + (3 \times 3)}{3 \times 5}$

$x = \frac{ - 5 + 9}{15}$

$x = \frac{4}{15}$

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number be x

x+(-3/5)=-1/3

=>x=-1/3+3/5

=> x=-5+9/15

=> x=4/15
