Question

which of the following must be added to -5/8 to get -3/2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no be M

(-5/8) + M= -3/2

M = (-3/2)+(-5/8)

M= -29/8

Answer 2

Answer:

$let \: the \: number \: be \: x.$

$\frac { - 5}{8} + x = \frac{ - 3}{2}$

$x = \frac{ - 3}{2} - ( \frac{ - 5}{8} )$

$x = \frac{ - 12 - ( - 5)}{8}$

$x = \frac{ - 12 + 5}{8} = \frac{ - 7}{8}$

$so \: the \: value \: of \: x = \frac{ - 7}{8}$
