Answer 2

Answer:

By subtracting $-\frac{2}{5}$ from $\frac{1}{6}$ we get $-\frac{17}{30}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question asked,

We have to subtract the given fraction,

As per data given in the question,

We have,

$\frac{1}{6}$ and $-\frac{2}{5}$

To subtract given fractions, we must first equalize their denominators by taking the LCM if they are not equal.

So, the LCM of $5$ and $6$ is $30$.

Now, converting fractions with denominator $30$:

$=> -\frac{2\times 6}{5\times 6}-\frac{1\times 5}{6\times 5}$

$=> -\frac{12}{30}-\frac{5}{30}$

Now, we have the same denominator:

Subtracting the numerators:

$=> \frac{-12-5}{5}$

$=> -\frac{17}{30}$

Hence, the required solution is $-\frac{17}{30}$.
