Question

11. A number when subtracted from the product of -5/6 and 24/35
and gives the result as - 1 5/21 Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

• Product of -5/6 and 24/35 = -4/7
• Given, that the no. is subtracted from the product of -5/6 and 24/35 = the no. is subtracted from -4/7 and gives a result of -15/21
• Let the no. be x
• We will get an equation = -4/7 - x = -15/21
• We will simplify -15/21 = -5/7
• -4/7 - x = -5/7
• x =  (-5/7) - (-4/7)
• x = -5/7 + 4/7
• x = -1/7
• Hence, the no. will be -1/7

Answer 2

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

x - (-5/6) × 24/35 = -1 5/21

x - (-120/210) = -1 5/21

x - (-120/210) = -26/21

-26/21 - (-120/20) = x

-26 × 10/21 × 10 - (-120/210) = x

-260/210 - (-120/210) = x

140/210 = x

2/3 = x
