Question

What should be subtracted from 4 by 9 to get 5 by 72

Answer 1

Answer:$X = \frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be X which is subtracted from 4/9

According to question,(we have the equation)

$\frac{4}{9} - X = \frac{5}{72}$

⇒$\frac{4}{9} - \frac{5}{72} = X$

Now,taking the LCM we can solve the above equation

⇒ $\frac{(8*4)- 5}{72} =X$

⇒$\frac{32 - 5}{72} = X$

⇒$\frac{27}{72} = X$

Divide the above equation to get the exact value of X

⇒$\frac{3}{8} = 0.375 = X$
