What number should be subtracted from \(\frac{-2}{3}\) to get \(\frac{-1}{6}?\) |
Answer» Let the number = x Now, According to question, \(\frac{-2}{3}-\) x \(=\frac{-1}{6}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{-2}{3}-(\frac{-1}{6})\) \(\Rightarrow\) x \(=\frac{-4-(-1)}{6}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x \(\frac{-4+1}{6}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x \(=\frac{-3}{6}\) In lowest terms, x \(=\frac{-3÷3}{6÷3}= \frac{-1}{2}\) Therefore, \(\frac{-1}{2}\) should be subtracted from \(\frac{-2}{3}\) so as to get \(\frac{-1}{6}\) |
