Question

What number should be added to -3/5 to get 23.​

Answer 1

23 3/5

Explanation:

Let us consider the number to be added to -3/5 as x.

Now write the equation for the given problem:

-3/5 + x = 23

Re arranging the equation,

x = 23 + 3/5

Take the common denominator as 5

Solve for x

x = (23 x 5 +3) / 5

x = (115+3)/5

x = 118/5

x = 23 3/5
