Question
What should be added to $\frac{-3}{8}$ to get $\frac{5}{12}?$
✓
Answer
Required number $=\frac{5}{12}-\Big(\frac{-3}{8}\Big)$
$=\frac{5}{12}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{10+9}{24}$ $(LCM$ of $12, 8 = 24)$ $=\frac{19}{24}$
$=\frac{5}{12}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{10+9}{24}$ $(LCM$ of $12, 8 = 24)$ $=\frac{19}{24}$
