What should be added to (-7/8) so as to get (5/9)? |
|
Answer» Given (-7/8) Let the required number be x x + (-7/8) = (5/9) The LCM of 8 and 9 is 72 x = (5/9) – (-7/8) x = (5/9) + (7/8) Consider (5/9) = (5/9) × (8/8) = (40/72) Again (7/8) = (7/8) × (9/8) = (63/72) On substituting x = (40/72) + (63/72) x = (40 + 63)/72 x = (103/72) |
