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

Answer»

Let the number be x

It is given that,

(\(\frac{3}{4}\)-\(\frac{2}{3}\)) - x = \(\frac{-1}{6}\)

- x + [ \(\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3}\) - \(\frac{2\times 4}{4\times 3}\)] =  \(\frac{-1}{6}\)

- x +  [\(\frac{9}{12}\)-\(\frac{8}{12}\)]  =  \(\frac{-1}{6}\)

\(\frac{-12x+9-8}{12}\) = \(\frac{-1}{6}\)

-12x-1 = -2-12x = -2-1-12x = -3

x = \(\frac{-3}{-12}\)

x = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
