What should be subtracted from ((3/4) – (2/3)) to get (-1/6)?

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)
