Question:
Tick (✓) the correct answer
What should be subtracted from $\frac{-5}{3}$ to get $\frac{5}{6} ?$
(a) $\frac{5}{2}$
(b) $\frac{3}{2}$
(c) $\frac{5}{4}$
(d) $\frac{-5}{2}$
Solution:
(d) $\frac{-5}{2}$
Let the required number be x.
Now,
$\frac{-5}{3}-x=\frac{5}{6}$
$\Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{-5}{3}-\frac{5}{6}\right)$
$=\frac{-10-5}{6}$
$=\frac{-15}{6}$
$=\frac{-5}{2}$
Thus, the required number is $\frac{-5}{2}$
