|
Answer» Given ((3/4) – (2/3)) Let the required number be x ((3/4) – (2/3)) – x = (-1/6) – x = (-1/6) – ((3/4) – (2/3)) Consider (3/4) = (3/4) × (3/3) = (9/12) (2/3) = (2/3) × (4/4) = (8/12) On substituting – x = (-1/6) – ((9/12) – ((8/12)) – x = (-1/6) – (1/12) (1/6) = (1/6) × (2/2) = (2/12) – x = (-2/12) – (1/12) – x = (-2 – 1)/12 – x = (-3/12) x = (3/12) x = (1/4) |
