Question

What should be subtracted from $-\frac{3}{4}$to get $-\frac{5}{6}$?

Answer 1

Mathematical operation with fraction.

Let us consider $x$ being subtracted from $-\frac{3}{4}$to get $-\frac{5}{6}$.

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore -\frac{3}{4}-x=-\frac{5}{6} \\ \Rightarrow -x=-\frac{5}{6}+\frac{3}{4} \\ \Rightarrow -x=\frac{-10+9}{12} \\ \Rightarrow -x=-\frac{1}{12} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{12} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\frac{1}{12}$ should be subtracted from $-\frac{3}{4}$to get $-\frac{5}{6}$.
