Question

what should be subtracted to - 3/5 as to get 5/6

Answer 1

Concept Introduction:-

It could take the shape of a word or a number representation of the quantity's arithmetic value.

Given Information:-

We have been given that $- 3/5$ and $5/6$

To Find:-

We have to find that what should be subtracted to $- 3/5$ as to get $5/6$

Solution:-

According to the problem

Let the required number be $x$

$x-\frac{-3}{5}=\frac{5}{6}\\\Rightarrow x+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{5}{6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{5x+3}{5}=\frac{5}{6}\\\Rightarrow 5x+3=\frac{5\times 5}{6}\\\Rightarrow 5x+3=\frac{25}{6}\\\Rightarrow 5x=\frac{25}{6}-3\\\Rightarrow 5x=\frac{25-18}{6}\\\Rightarrow 5x=\frac{7}{6}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{7}{30}$

Final Answer:-

The correct answer is $\frac{7}{30}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

Required fraction is 7/30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

we should get 5/6

let x be no

we have to subtract x from -3/5 to get 5/6

now subtract -3/5 fro x

$x - ( - \frac{3}{5} ) = \frac{5}{6}$

$x + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5}{6}$

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

on taking L.C.M of denominators

$\frac{25 - 18}{30} = \frac{7}{30}$

Required answer is 7/30.
