Answer 2

Answer:

Let us call the number x

So, according to the question -5/4 + x = -1

x = -1+ 5/4

x = -4/4 + 5/4

x = 1/4

Hence we must add 1/4 to -5/4 to get -1.

We can also do this another short cut way...

We know -1 = -4/4

So what must be added with -5/4 to get -4/4 is 1/4

as -5/4 + 1/4 = -4/4

HOPE THIS HELPED!!!
