Answer 2

Given - Number and result

Find - Value

Solution - Let the number to be added for desired result he x.

Representing the given information in mathematical equation form -

$- \frac{5}{4} + x = - 1$

Shifting the number from Left Hand Side to Right Hand Side

$x = - 1 + \frac{5}{4}$

Taking LCM, we get 4. So, solving the equation for the value of x.

$x = \frac{( - 1 \times 4) + 5}{4}$

$x = \frac{ - 4 + 5}{4}$

$x = \frac{ 1}{4}$

Performing division

$x = 0.25$

So, addition of 0.25 or 1/4 will give the desired result.
