Question

What number should be added to 7/12 to get 4/15?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x.

We are trying to find out what number (x) we would need to add to 7/12 to get 4/15

$\frac{7}{12} + x = \frac{4}{15}$

Subtract 7/12 from both sides.

$x = \frac{4}{15} - \frac{7}{12}$

We need to make the denominators of the fractions the same.

$\frac{4}{15} = \frac{16}{60}$

$\frac{7}{12} = \frac{35}{60}$

So,

$x = \frac{16}{60} - \frac{35}{60} = - \frac{19}{60}$
