Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other number be x

$x - ( - \frac{2}{3}) = ( - \frac{1}{6}) \\ x + \frac{2}{3} = - \frac{1}{6} \\ x = - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{2}{3} \\ x = \frac{ - 1 - 4}{6} \\ x = \frac{ - 5}{6}$

Hope it helps!!
