Question 4(c) :

Fill in the boxes:

$\frac{1}{2}-\square =\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The given equation is $\frac{1}{2}-\square =\frac{1}{6}$.

We transfer $\frac{1}{6}$ to the left-hand side of the equation and the missing fraction to the right-hand side of the equation.

Then, the given equation becomes $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}=\square$

The above equation can also be written as, $\square =\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the missing fraction $=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3-1}{6}=\frac{2}{6}$

So, $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}$
