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

The answer will be option 2. 10^4.
1) We can determine by the table of values whether a function is a quadratic one by considering this example:
x | y 1st difference 2nd difference
0 0 3 -0 = 3 7-3 = 4
1 3 10 -3 = 7 11 -7 = 4
2 10 21 -10 =11 15 -11 = 4
3 21 36-21 = 15 19-5 = 4
4 36 55-36= 19
5 55
2) Let's subtract the values of y this way:
3 -0 = 3
10 -3 = 7
21 -10 = 11
36 -21 = 15
55 -36 = 19
Now let's subtract the differences we've just found:
7 -3 = 4
11-7 = 4
15-11 = 4
19-15 = 4
So, if the "second difference" is constant (same result) then it means we have a quadratic function just by analyzing the table.
3) Hence, we can determine if this is a quadratic relation calculating the second difference of the y-values if the second difference yields the same value. The graph must be a parabola and the highest coefficient must be 2
