Question

what should be subtracted from -2/3to get 1​

Answer 1

The number that should be subtracted from -2/3 to get 1 is -5/3.

Given,

Fraction: $-\frac{2}{3}$.

To find,

What to subtract from the given fraction to get 1.

Solution,

It can be seen that a fraction is given here, which is

$-\frac{2}{3}.$

We have to subtract a number from it to get 1.

Firstly, let the number that is to be subtracted be x.

Subtracting x from the given fraction, we get,

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

The above expression should be equal to 1. So,

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

Simplifying,

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

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

$x =\frac{-5}{3}$

Therefore, the number that should be subtracted from -2/3 to get 1 is -5/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept= Fractions

Given= Word Problem

To Find= The value

Explanation=

We have been given that we need to subtract a value from -2/3 to get 1.

Subtraction is reducing the value by the desired known variables.

So let the value to be subtracted to be x.

So now if we subtract x from -2/3 we get 1.

Equating the given information we get:

(-2/3) - x= 1

Solving further we get:

-2/3  - 1=x

=> LCM of 3 and 1 is 3 so

=> (-2-3)/3 = x

=>-5/3=x

Therefore we need to subtract -5/3 to get 1 as the result.

Checking:

-2/3 - (-5/3)

=> (-2+5)/3

=> 3/3

=>1

Our answer is correct so ,

We need to subtract -5/3 from -2/3 to get 1.
