Question

what should be subtracted from -3/4 to get -5/6

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

-3/4-x=-5/6

5/6-3/4=x

10/12-9/12=x

x=1/12

Answer 2

Question :

what should be subtracted from -3/4 to get -5/6

Solution :

Let the number to be subtracted from -3/4 be x

$- \frac{3}{4} - x = - \frac{5}{6}$

$\rightarrow \: x = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{3}{4}$

• L.C.M of 6 and 4 is 12

$\rightarrow \: x = \frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2} - \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3}$

$\rightarrow \: x = \frac{10}{12} - \frac{9}{12}$

$\rightarrow \: x = \frac{10 - 9}{12}$

$\rightarrow \: x = \frac{1}{12}$

$\boxed{ \sf\therefore The \: value \: that \: needs \: to \: be \: subtracted \: from \frac{ - 3}{4} \: to \: get \frac{ - 5}{6} \: is \: \boxed{\frac{1}{12} } }$
