Answer 1

Answer:

-7/8 should be added

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number to be added be ''x''

x  should be added to –5/8 as to get –3/2

$x+(\frac{-5}{8} )=\frac{-3}{2} \\\\ x-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{-3}{2} \\\\ x=\frac{-3}{2}+\frac{5}{8} \\\\ x=(\frac{-3}{2} \times \frac{4}{4} )+\frac{5}{8} \\\\ x=\frac{-12}{8}+\frac{5}{8} \\\\ x=\frac{-12+5}{8} \\\\ x=\frac{-7}{8}$
