Question

What should be subtracted from -9/14 to get 17/28 ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

-5/4 = -1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x

$\frac{-9}{14} -x=\frac{17}{28} \\\\x=\frac{-9}{14} -\frac{17}{28} \\\\Taking LCM,\\\\x=\frac{2(-9)-1(17)}{28} \\\\x=\frac{-18-17}{28} \\\\x=\frac{-35}{28} \\\\x=\frac{-5}{4} \\\\x=-1.25$
