Question

What should be subtracted from -2/3 to obtain -1? *

Answer 1

Answer:

The number to be added is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the required number to be x. Then,

Given equation is

$\frac{ - 2}{3} - x = - 1$

Now we can find the value of x by solving above equation like below

$\frac{ - 2}{3} - x = - 1 \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 2}{3} + 1 \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 2} {3} + \frac{3}{3} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 2 + 3}{3} \\ \\ x = \frac{1}{3}$

I hope you are clear if not just comment me and mark me as the brainliest.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the subtracted number be assumed as x.

According to the condition:-

Equation:. -2/3 - x = -1

• -2/3 + 1 = x

• x = -2+3/3

• x = 1/3

Here we can conclude that 1/3 should be subtracted from -2/3 to get the difference as -1.
