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 $\frac{-5}{2}$
