Question:
Tick (✓) the correct answer
What should be subtracted from $\frac{-3}{5}$ to get $-2 ?$
(a) $\frac{-7}{5}$
(b) $\frac{-13}{5}$
(c) $\frac{13}{5}$
(d) $\frac{7}{5}$
Solution:
(d) $\frac{7}{5}$
Let the required number be x.
Now,
$-\frac{3}{5}-x=-2$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{3}{5}=-2+x$
$\Rightarrow x=\left(-\frac{3}{5}+2\right)$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{(-3+10)}{5}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{7}{5}$
Thus, the required number is $\frac{7}{5}$
