Question

What number should be subtracted from $\frac{-2}{3}$ to get $\frac{-1}{6}$ ?

Answer 1

Difference of two numbers $=\frac{-1}{6}$

One number $=\frac{-2}{3}$

$\therefore$ Second number $=\frac{-2}{3}-\left(\frac{-1}{6}\right)$

$=\frac{-2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{-4+1}{6}=\frac{-3}{6}=\frac{-3÷3}{6÷3}$

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