Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

We have been given some numbers (3/4 - 1/3) amd -1/4.

To Find:

We need to find the number that should be subtracted from (3/4-1/3) to get -1/4

Solution:

Let the number be x.

(3/4 -1/3) - x = -1/4

3/4 - x = -1/4 + 1/3

Taking LCM as 12, we have

3/4 - x = -3/12 + 4/12

3/4 - x = (-3 + 4)/12

3/4 - x = 1/12

-x = 1/12 - 3/4

Taking LCM as 12 we have,

-x = 1/12 - 9/12

-x = (1-9)/12

-x = -8/12

-x = -2/3

or x = 2/3

Therefore the the number that should be subtracted from (3/4-1/3) to get -1/4 is 2/3.
