Question

which number should be subtract from -5/9 to get -7/12
​

Answer 1

Answer:

the number is 1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be X

-5/9-X=-7/12

-5/9=-7/12+X

X=7/12-5/9

X=7/12-5/9

the LCM of 12 and 9 is 36

7/12=7×3/12×3=21/36

5/9=5×4/9×4=20/36

X=21/36-20/36

X=21-20/36

X=1/36

Answer 2
