Answer 1

Given:

What should be added to 5/8 to get 9/14

Solution:

let the fraction be added is x

$x + \dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{9}{14}$

$x = \dfrac{9}{14} - \dfrac{5}{8}$

LCM of 14 and 8 is 56

$x = \dfrac{36 - 35}{56}$

$x = \dfrac{1}{56}$

So, the required answer is 1/56

Hence, we should add 1/56 to 5/8 to get 9/14
