Question

what number should be subtracted -2/3 to get -1/2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x

-2/3 - x = -1/2

x = -2/3 + 1/2

x = 1/2 - 2/3

by taking lcm

x = (3-4)/6

x = -1/6

Answer 2

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the required number be X

-2/3 - X = -1/2

-X = -1/2 + 2/3

-X = -3 + 4/ 6     (LMC of 3 & 2)

-X = -1/6

'-' will get cancelled since on both sides.

and the answer will be 1/6
