Subtract : (-5/6) from (1/3)

Answer»

(-5/6) from (1/3)

We have:

= (1/3) – (-5/6)

= (1/3) + (additive inverse of -5/6)

= (1/3) + (5/6)

LCM of 3 and 6 is 6

Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.

Now,

= [(1×2)/ (3×2)] = (2/6)

= [(5×1)/ (6×1)] = (5/6)

Then,

= (2/16) + (5/6)

= (2+5)/6

= (7/6)
