Step-by-step explanation:

✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️

Let x be added to -5/16 to get 7/24.

-5/16 + x = 7/24

x= 7/24 + 5/16

x= 29/48.

So 29/48 should be added to -5/16 to get 7/24.

Answer:

29/48 should be added to -5/16 to get 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let x should be added to -5/16 to get 7/24.

Hence, we can write:

-5/16 + x = 7/24

by taking -5/16 in the right hand side of the above equation, we can write

⇒ x  =  $\frac{7}{24}$   -   ($\frac{-5}{16}$)

⇒ x  = $\frac{7}{24}$   +  $\frac{5}{16}$  .................................................(i)

• L.C.M of 24 , 16 :

24 = 2×2×2×3

16 = 2×2×2×2

• so, the L.C.M of 24 and 16 = 2×2×2×2×3 = 48

• From equation (i) we can write:

  x  = $\frac{7 * 2}{24 * 2}$  +  $\frac{5 * 3}{16 * 3}$

⇒ x  = $\frac{14}{48}$ + $\frac{15}{48}$  

⇒ x = $\frac{14 + 15}{48}$

⇒ x = $\frac{29}{48}$

• Hence, we can say that , 29/48 should be added to -5/16 to get 7/24.
