Answer 2

Answer:

Let the no.be x.(Which is subtracted from1/3)

So,1/3-x=-5/12

-x=-5/12-1/3

LCM of 12 and 3=12

-x=-5/12-1/3×4/4

-x=-5/12-4/12

-x=-5-4/12

-x=-9/12

-x=-3/4

- & - cut

then,x=3/4

Proof: 3/4 from 1/3 =-5/12

1/3-3/4

LCM of 3 and 4 =12

1/3×4/4-3/4×3/3

4/12-9/12

4-9/12

-5/12=-5/12
