Question

What should be added to (-5/8) To get (-5/3)
​

Answer 1

Let's The Added number is = X

$= > ( \frac{ - 5}{8} ) + x = ( \frac{ - 5}{3} ) \\ = > \frac{ - 5}{8} + x = \frac{ - 5}{3} \\ = > x = \frac{ - 5}{3} + \frac{5}{8} \\ = > x = \frac{(( - 5) \times 8) + (5 \times 3)}{24} \\ = > x = \frac{ - 40+ 15}{24} \\ = > x = \frac{ - 25}{24}$

So,

-25/24 should be added to (-5/8) To get (-5/3).
