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

Answer»

 Let the number x to be added to -7/8 to get 5/9

\(\frac{-7}{8}+x=\frac{5}{9}\\\frac{(-7+8x)}{8}=\frac{5}{9}\\(-7+8x)\times9=5\times8\\-63+72x=40\\72x=40+73\\x=\frac{103}{72}\)

\(\therefore\) the required number is \(\frac{103}{72}\)
