subtract the sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5 from the sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5

Sagot :

- 1.3 is the number we get when we subtract the sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5 from the sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5. This can be obtained by finding sum separately and then subtracting them.

What is the required number:

Here in the question it is given that,

subtract the sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5 from the sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5

By separating them as two parts

  • sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5  
  • sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5

⇒ sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5  

- 5/6 + - 1 3/5 = - 5/6 + - 8/5  (∵ a b/c = (ac+b)/c(5+3)/5 = 8/5)

                      = (- 25 - 48)/30  (LCM = 30)

                      = - 73/30

⇒ sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5

2 2/3 + -6 2/5 = 8/3 + -32/5

                       = (40 - 96)/15  (LCM = 15)

                       = - 56/15

subtract the sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5 from the sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5

= (sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5) - (sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5)

= (- 56/15) - (- 73/30 )  

= - 56/15 + 73/30

= - 112/30 + 73/30   (LCM = 30)

= - 39/30

= - 13/10

= - 1.3

Hence - 1.3 is the number we get when we subtract the sum of -5/6 and -1 3/5 from the sum of 2 2/3 and -6 2/5.
