Question

what number should be subtracted from 3 / 4 - 1 / 3 to get minus 1 upon 4

Answer 1

3/4 - 1/3 = (9-4)/12 = 5/12
5/12 - x = -1/4
x = 5/12 + 1/4 = (5+3)/12 = 8/12 = 2/3
x = 2/3

we must subtract 1/6 from 3/4 - 1/3 to get -1/4 as resultant

Answer 2

Answer:

so, 59/60 must be subtracted ......

Step-by-step explanation:

let "x" be subtracted from (3/4+1/3+2/5)

so, 3/4+1/3+2/5. -x = 1/4

45/60 + 20/60 + 24/60 - x = 1/4

89/60 - x = 1/4

x = 89/60 - 1/4

x = 89/60 - 15/60

x = 37/30

x = 1 7/30
