Question

what number should be subtracted from 5/9 to get 1/3 ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose that number is x

so, 5/9- x = 1/3

5/9 - 1/3 = x

(5-3)/3 = ×

x= 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question

5/9 - x = 1/3

⇒ -x = 1/3 - 5/9

⇒ -x = 3/9 - 5/9                 (∵LCM)

⇒ -x = -2/9

⇒ x = 2/9
