Question

What should be added to 5/6-7/8 go get 1/2?

Answer 1

Let the number be x.

(5/6 - 7/8) + x = 1/2

(20-21)/24 + x = 1/2

-1/24 + x = 1/2

x = 1/2 + 1/24

x = (12 + 1)/24

x = 13/24

Hence, 13/24 must be added to get 1/2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

then 5/6 - 7/8 =1/2

5/8=1/2+7/8

5/8=11/8

=11/8-5/8

=6/8

=3/4
