Question

Find the rational numbers that should be subtracted from -2/3 to get -5/6.​

Answer 1

HERE'S IS YOUR ANSWER IN ABOVE PIC

Answer 2

➤ Answer :-

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 2)}{3} - \sf(x) \tt = \dfrac{( - 5)}{6}}$

To find the value of 'x' in the following sum, we should subtract the first value and the answer

${\sf \longrightarrow (x) = \tt \dfrac{( - 2)}{3} - \dfrac{( - 5)}{6}}$

Convert them into like fractions by taking the LCM of the denominators i.e, 3 and 6

LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 2) \times 2}{3 \times 2} - \dfrac{( - 5)}{6}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 4)}{6} - \dfrac{( - 5)}{6} = \dfrac{( - 4) - ( - 5)}{6}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 4) + 5}{6} = \boxed{\tt \dfrac{1}{6}}}$

$\Huge\therefore$ The other number is ${\tt\dfrac{1}{6}}$.
