Question

What should be added to


`(17)/(24)`
get

`( - 5)/(12)`
​

Answer 1

See the below process

Explanation:

let the Unknown value be x.

Now

`(17)/(24) + x = ( - 5)/(12)`

`x = ( - 5)/(12) - (17)/(24)`

Taking LCM

`x = ( - 10 - 17)/(24)`

`x = ( - 27)/(24) \\ = (8)/(9)`

we should add 8/9 to 17/24 to get -5/12
