Question

what should be subracted from -8 8/15 to get 19/25?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

$- 8 \frac{8}{15} + x = \frac{19}{25}$

solution

let x is the number which will substract to get 19 by 25

by solving above equation

$- 8 \frac{8}{15} + x = \frac{19}{25}$

$\frac{ - 8 \times 15 + 8}{15} + x = \frac{19}{25}$

simplify

$\frac{128}{15} + x = \frac{19}{25}$

to find value of variable x

$x = \frac{19}{25} - \frac{128}{15}$

by solving we get

$x = - 7.77$
