What number should be subtracted from \(\frac{3}{7}\) to get \(\frac{5}{4}\) ?

Answer»

Suppose x be the rational number to be subtracted to \(\frac{3}{7}\) to get \(\frac{5}{4}\)

Then,

\(\frac{3}{7}\) - x = \(\frac{5}{4}\)

-x = \(\frac{5}{4}\) - \(\frac{3}{7}\)

-x = \(\frac{5\times 7-3\times 4}{28}\)

-x = \(\frac{35-12}{28}\)

-x = - \(\frac{23}{28}\)

Therefore,

The required number x = - \(\frac{23}{28}\)
