Question

what should be subtracted from (3/4 -2/3) to get -1/6? simplify the answer no spam​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$ or, 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the answer is x

So, $(\frac{3}{4}$ $-\frac{2}{3}) -x$ = $-\frac{1}{6}$

=> x = $\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3}$ $+\frac{1}{6}$

=> x = $\frac{1}{4}$ = 0.25

Answer 2

From the given question, we can write that

$\huge{ \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3} - a \: = \: - \frac{1}{6} }$

We have to find a

$\huge{ a = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{6} }$

$\huge{a = \frac{3 \times 3 -2 \times 4 + 1 \times 2 }{12} }$

$\huge{a = \frac{9 - 8 + 2}{12} }$

$\huge{a = \frac{3}{12} }$

$\huge \red{a = \frac{1}{4} }$
