Question

what should be subtracted from (5/2-4/3) to get -3/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x,

now let's solve the bracket,

subtracting the two fraction in bracket we get, 7/6

so,

7/6-x= -3/8

x=7/6-(-3/8)

x= 7/6+3/8

7/6×8/8, 3/8×6/6

56+18/48

74/48

=> 37/24

7/6-37/24=-3/8

the answer is -37/24
