Question

Subtract.

$-\frac{1}{3}$ from $-\frac{7}{6}$

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{-7}{6}-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) \\ =\frac{-7}{6}+\frac{1}{3} \\ =\frac{-7}{6}+\frac{1\times 2}{3\times 2}\mathit{}\mathit{(}Making\mathit{}denominatore\mathit{}equal\mathit{)} \\ =\frac{-7}{6}+\frac{2}{6} \\ =\frac{-7+2}{6} \\ =\frac{-5}{6}. \end{gathered}$$

Hence , when we subtract $-\frac{1}{3}$ from $-\frac{7}{6}$we get $-\frac{5}{6}.$
