Question

3 What number should be subtracted from 3/17 to get-5/34 ?​

Answer 1

Answer :

x = 11/34

Step-by-step explanation:

let required number be x

3/17 - x = -5/34

x = 11/34

Answer 2

$\mathsf{First \: number = \frac{3}{17}}$

$\mathsf{Second \: number = \frac{-5}{34}}$

Now , according to you question what should by

subtracted from first number to get the second number .

The number that should be substracted is ,

$\frac{3}{17}-\frac{-5}{34}$

As , denominator are not equal , we have to do LCM of 17 and 34 .

LCM of 17 and 34 is 34 .

Now , we have to equalize the numerator .

$\frac{3×2}{17×2}=\frac{6}{34}$

$\frac{-5×1}{34×1}=\frac{-5}{34}$

Substraction ,

$\frac{6}{34} - \frac{-5}{34}$

$=> \frac{6-(-5)}{34}$

$=> \frac{6+5}{34}$

$=> \frac{11}{34}$

$\mathsf \blue{{\therefore{,\frac{11}{34} \: should \: be \: substracted}}}$

Hope it helps friend !
