 What number should be subtracted from \((\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3})\) to get \(\frac{-1}{6}\) ?

Answer»

Let us consider a number as x to be subtracted from (3/4 – 2/3) to get -1/6
So, 

\((\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}3)-x=\frac{-1}6\\x=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}\\x=\frac{(3\times3-2\times4)}{12}+\frac{1}{6}\\=\frac{(9-8)}{12}+\frac{1}{6}\\=\frac{(1\times1+1\times2)}{12}\\=\frac{3}{12}\\=\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\therefore\) the required number is \(\frac{1}{4}\)
