Question

What should be subtracted from 10 to get 17/3?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number to be subtracted be x

10-x=17/3

10-17/3=x

now take the lcm of 10 and 17/3

the lcm will be 3

the digits after taking lcm will be

10/3 & 17/3

now,solve the equation

10/3 - 17/3=x

-7/3=x

-7/3 should be subtracted from 10 to get 17/3
