Question

what number should be substracted from -7/8 to get -5/12 ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number to be subtracted be x

-7/8 -x = -5/12

7/8 +5/12 = x

LCM of 8 and 12 = 48

-7/8*6/6 +5/12*4/4 = x

-42/48 +20/48 = x

-22/48 = x

x = -22/48

x = -11/24

Thus -11/24 should be subtracted from -7/8 to get -5/12
