Question

What number should be subtracted from -2/3 to get -1/6?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x should be subtracted

so

-2/3 – x = -1/6

-2/3 + 1/6 = x

Taking their lcm and solving further

(-4+1)/6 = x

-3/6 = x

So x=-1/2

A.T.Q.

$\frac{ - 2}{3} - x = \frac{ - 1}{6}$

$\frac{ - 2}{3} - ( \frac{ - 1}{6} ) = x$

$\frac{ - 2}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = x$

$\frac{ - 4 + 1}{6} = x$

$\frac{ - 3}{6} = x$

$x = \frac{ - 1}{2}$
