Question

what number should minus 33 by 16 be divided by to get minus 11 by 4

Answer 1

Let the unknown number be "x"

33/16 - x = 11/4

-x = 11/4 - 33/16

-x =  44 - 33 / 16
    = 11/16

x = -11/16

The answer is -11/16

Answer 2

Let the unknown no. be 'n'
----------------------------------------------------------
According to given question, we have

33/16 - n = 11/4

⇒33/16 -11/4 = n

⇒ 33/16 - 44/16 = n

⇒-11/16 = n
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hence the no. is -11/16
