Question

Fill the blank spaces: $\frac{2}{8}+......=\frac{-1}{6}+.......$

• A. $\frac{-1}{6},\frac{2}{8}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6},\frac{-2}{8}$
• C. $\frac{2}{8},\frac{-1}{6}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6},\frac{2}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{-1}{6},\frac{2}{8}$

Addition is commutative for rational numbers i.e. $a+b=b+a$
$\therefore \frac{2}{8}+\frac{-1}{6}=\frac{-1}{6}+\frac{2}{8}$
$\therefore$ The missing numbers are $\frac{-1}{6},\frac{2}{8}$
