Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{-1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number to be sbtracted from $\frac{ - 2}{3}$ to get $\frac{ - 1}{2}$

be x.

ATQ,

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{ - 2}{3} - x = \frac{ - 1}{2}$

$= > - x = \frac{ - 1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 3 + 4}{6}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{1}{6}$

$=>x=\frac {-1}{6}$

Hence, the number to be subtracted from $\frac{ - 2}{3}$

to get$\frac{ - 1}{2}$ is $\frac {-1}{6}$.
