What should be added to \(\frac{-7}{8}\) so as to get \(\frac{5}{9}\) ?

Answer»

Suppose x be the rational number to be added to \(\frac{-7}{8}\) to get \(\frac{5}{9}\)

Then,

\(\frac{-7}{8}\)+x = \(\frac{5}{9}\)

x = \(\frac{5}{9}\)+\(\frac{7}{8}\)

x = \(\frac{5\times 8+7\times 9}{72}\)

x = \(\frac{40+63}{72}\)

x = \(\frac{103}{72}\)

Therefore,

The required number x = \(\frac{103}{72}\)
