Question

what should be added to -3/8 to get 2/9​

Answer 1

Hi this is your answer

Step by step explanation:-

First,Take The number which should be added to -3/8 as x

Then it will come like this-3/8 + x = 2/9(Transpose -3/8 to Right Hand Side, during transposing + will become - & - will become +)

x = 2/9 + 3/8 (Take LCM of 9 & 8)

LCM = 72

x = (2 × 8/9 × 8) + (3 × 9/8 × 9)

x = 16/72 + 27/72

x = 43/72

So 43/72 must be added with -3/8 to get 2/9
