Question

What number should be subtracted from $\frac{-10}{3}$ to get $\frac{-1}{2}$?

• A. -2.8333333
• B. -3
• C. -3.1666667
• D. -3.333333

Answer 1

The correct option is A

-2.8333333

Assume that number is x

$\frac{-10}{3}$ – x = $\frac{-1}{2}$

X = ($\frac{-10}{3}$) + ($\frac{1}{2}$) = $\frac{(-20+3)}{6}$ = $\frac{-17}{16}$ = -2.83
