Question

3. What fraction should be subtracted from 9 /16to get 1/2?








​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction that must be 9/16 be x

= 9/16 - x = 1/2

By transposing 9/16 to the other side we get

-x = 1/2 - 9/16

Which can also be written as

x = 9/16 - 1/2

LCM of 16 and 2 is 16

x = 9/16 -1/2(8/8)

x = 9/16 - 8/16

x = 1/16

The fraction must be subtracted from 9 /16 to get 1/2 is 1/16

Answer 2

Given: The fractions are$9 /16 and 1/2$.

We have to find the fraction which when we subtract from$9/16$ then we get$1/2$.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The fractions are$9 /16 and 1/2$

Let the fraction will be'$x$'

Now, from the given statement we can write:

$=>\frac{9}{16} -x=\frac{1}{2} \\\\=>\frac{9}{16} -\frac{1}{2} =x\\\\=>x=\frac{1}{16}$

Hence, the fraction will be$\frac{1}{16}$.
