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 = - \(\frac{23}{28}\) |
