State True or False-3-4 should be subtracted from -1-6 to get 7-12-

True Let the number to be subtracted by x. Then, 1/6 x=7/12 ⇒ 1/6=7/12+x ⇒ x= 1/6 7/12 ⇒ x= 1/6+ 7/12 ⇒ x=( 2)+( 7)/12= 9/12= 3/4 Hence, the required number is ...

State True or False.
$\frac{- 3}{4}$ should be subtracted from $\frac{- 1}{6}$ to get $\frac{7}{12}$ .

Open in App

Solution

True
Let the number to be subtracted by $x$ . Then,
$\frac{- 1}{6} - x = \frac{7}{12} \Rightarrow \frac{- 1}{6} = \frac{7}{12} + x \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 1}{6} - \frac{7}{12} \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 1}{6} + \frac{- 7}{12} \Rightarrow x = \frac{(- 2) + (- 7)}{12} = \frac{- 9}{12} = \frac{- 3}{4}$
Hence, the required number is $\frac{- 3}{4}$ .

State True or False. −34 should be subtracted from −16 to get 712.

True Let the number to be subtracted by x. Then, −16−x=712⇒−16=712+x⇒x=−16−712⇒x=−16+−712⇒x=(−2)+(−7)12=−912=−34 Hence, the required number is −34.
