Question

What should be added to -5/9 to get 1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question: What should be added to -5/9 to get 1?

Your answer with detailed explanation:

Lets assume that the unknown number is 'a'

Therefore,

$x + ( - \frac{5}{9} ) = 1$

$x - \frac{5}{9} = 1$

[ we must know that

$- \times + = -$

given above]

$x = 1 + \frac{5}{9}$

[ let the variables one be in the LHS and the numericals be in the RHS ]

$x = \frac{1 \times 9 + 5}{9}$

[ so, our LCM is 9]

$x = \frac{9 + 5}{9}$

[ now, let's multiply 1 and 9 and add 5]

$x = \frac{14}{9}$

Your final answer:

$\frac{14}{9}$
