Question

what should be subtracted from 9 1/6 to get 5 3/4 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

let X is subtracted =>

9 1/6-x = 5 3/4

=> 55/6-x = 23/4

=> x = 55/6-23/4

=> x = 110-69/12

=> 41/12

=> x = 3 5/12

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be X

9 1/6=>55/6

5 3/4=>23/4

Accoring to que

55/6 - X = 23/4

55/6 - 6x/6 = 23/4

1/6(55-x)=23/4

55-x= 23/4 × 6

55-x=69/2

55-x=24.5

-x=24.5-55

-x= -30.5

Therefore x= 30.5 or 305/10 or 61/5
