5(6*3) = 5(18) = 90
(5*6)3 = (30)3 = 90
The answer is the same by the associative law.
The required number is -3 which when added to the numerator and to the denominator of 5/8 results in a fraction whose value is 0.4.
<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>
Fraction is the ratio of a particular part to the whole parts of an object. A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
The given fraction is 5/8
Consider a number as 'x' which is added to both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction.
So,
(5 + x)/(8 + x)
Since it is given that the result is 0.4 i.e., 4/10, we can write
(5 + x)/(8 + x) = 4/10
⇒ 10(5 + x) = 4(8 + x)
⇒ 50 + 10x = 32 + 4x
⇒ 10x - 4x = 32 - 50
⇒ 6x = -18
⇒ x = -18/6
∴ x = -3
Therefore, the required number is -3.
Check:
(5 + (-3))/(8 + (-3)) = (5 - 3)/(8 - 3) = 2/5 = 0.4
