Question

What should be added to - 1 to get $\frac{-3}{5}$ ?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. $\frac{-2}{5}$
• D. $\frac{4}{10}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A

True

D

$\frac{4}{10}$

Let the required number be $x$

Then -1 + $x$ = $\frac{-3}{5}$

$x$ = $\frac{-3}{5}$ + 1

= $\frac{-3}{5}$ + $\frac{1\times 5}{1\times 5}$
( LCM of 1 and 5 = 5)

= $\frac{-3+5}{5}$

= $\frac{2}{5}$
