Question
What should be added to `(-1)/2` to obtain the nearest natural number?
Solution
We know that, nearest number of `(-1)/2` is 1
Let x be added to `-1/2` to obtain 1
Then, `-1/2 + x` = 1
⇒ x = `1 + 1/2 = (2 + 1)/2`
⇒ x = `3/2`
Hence, `3/2` should be added to `(-1)/2` to obtain the nearest natural number.
