Answer 1

Bonjour!!

_______________________________

Let the number be x

1/3 - x = -5/12
-x = -5/12 - 1/3
-x = -5 - 4/12
-x = -9/12
-x = -3/4
x = 3/4

#QUESTION#

what number should be subtracted from 1/3 so as to get -5/12

#ANSWER#

Let us suppose that the number is x

Now this number has to be subtracted from 1/3 .

After subtracting the difference is -5/ 12

So!!

Let's form an equation as per the question


The equation is as following


$\frac{1}{3} - x = \frac{ - 5}{12} \\ \\ \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{12} = x \\ \\ \frac{4 + 5}{12} = x \\ \\ \frac{9}{12} = x \\ \\ \frac{3}{4} = x$

So . The number is 3/4


Thanks
