Question

what number should be subtracted from-2/3 to get -1/6

Answer 1

HEY FRIEND

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Let the no. be x

(-2/3)-x= -1/6

(-2-3x)/3= -1/6

6(-2-3x)=-3

-12-18x=-3

-18x=12-3

-18x=9

x=9/-18

x= -1/2

-1/2 should be subtracted from -2/3 to get -1/6

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU

Answer 2

$\textbf{- Answer -}$

Let us consider that the number be $\textbf{x}$

Then,

-2/3 - x = -1/6

or, x = -2/3 + 1/6

or, x = {(-2 × 2) + 1}/6, since LCM of 3 and 6 is 6

or, x = (- 4 + 1)/6

or, x = -3/6

or, x = -1/2

Therefore, the required number is (-1/2).
