Question

6. What is subtracted from 3/4 to get remainder 2/3
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume this is being asked by a kid. So let’s try to explain slowly.

Let’s find the value of x:

Formula: -2/3 - x = 3/4

>> -x = 3/4 + 2/3

To add the fractions with different denominators is to first find its LCD of 4 & 3 which is 12.

>> -x = 3/4 + 2/3

-x = (9+8)/12 (how? 12 divided by 4 equals 3 and then times 3 again which is the numerator of the first fraction = 9 ; 12 divided by 3 equals 4 and then times 2 again which is the numerator of the second fraction = 8)

>> -x = 17/12

>> x = -17/12

Answer is x = -17/12

Therefore, if you subtract -2/3 and -17/12 the result is 3/4

How?

>> -2/3 - (-17/12)

>> (-8+17)/12 (negative * negative = positive)

>> 9/12

Simplify 9/12 to its lowest form which is equal to 3/4

Thanks.

Answer 2

Answer:

et the number be x

3/4- x = 2/3

x = 3/4-2/3

x = 9-8/12

x = 1/12
