Question

If 10/3 is subtracted from -7/3, the result is?
a. -17/3
b. -3/3
c. 1
d. 4/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

$( \frac{-7}{3}) - ( \frac{ 10}{3} ) = \frac{(-7) - ( 10)}{3} = \frac{-7-10}{3} = \frac{-17}{3}$

Hope it helps you :)

Answer 2

Given,

First fraction is :

$- \frac{7}{3}$

Second fraction is :

$\frac{10}{3}$

To find,

The result of the subtraction.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we will be following general rule for fractional subtraction.

The given fractions are like fractions, as they have equal denominators (ie. 3). So, in the final answer the denominator will be 3 as well, the numerator of the final answer will be the subtraction of the numerators of the initial fractions.

So,

$= ( - \frac{7 }{3} ) - ( \frac{10}{3} )$

$= \frac{ - 7 - 10}{3}$

$= - \frac{ 17}{3}$

$= - 5 \frac{2}{3}$

(This will be considered as the final result. The final result can be written either in imroper fraction or in mixed fraction, as per the necessity of the given question.)

Hence, the result will be -¹⁷/₃ or -5⅔
