What should be subtracted from \(\frac{-5}{3}\) to get \(\frac{5}{6}\,?\)A. \(\frac{5}{2}\)B. \(\frac{3}{2}\)C. \(\frac{5}{4}\)D. \(\frac{-5}{2}\)

Answer»

Let the number subtracted be x.

Then,

\(\frac{-5}{3}-\text{x}=\frac{5}{6}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-5}{3}-\frac{5}{6}\)

\(=\frac{-5\times2-5\times1}{6}\)

\(=\frac{-10-5}{6}\)

\(=\frac{-15}{6}=\frac{-15\div3}{6\div3}=\frac{-5}{2}\)
