What must be subtracted from $5 \frac{1}{6}$ to get $2 \frac{11}{18}$ ?
Given :
The given fractions are $5 \frac{1}{6}$ and $2 \frac{11}{18}$
To do :
We have to find what must be subtracted from $5 \frac{1}{6}$ to get $2 \frac{11}{18}$ .
Solution :
Let the number to be subtracted from from $5 \frac{1}{6}$ to get $2 \frac{11}{18}$ be x.
$5 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{(5\times 6+1)}{6} = \frac{(30+1)}{6} = \frac{31}{6}$
$2 \frac{11}{18} = \frac{(2\times 18+11)}{18} = \frac{(36+11)}{18} = \frac{47}{18}$
Therefore,
$5 \frac{1}{6} - x = \frac{11}{18}$
$ \frac{31}{6} - x = \frac{47}{18}$
$x = \frac{31}{6}- \frac{47}{18}$
$x = \frac{(31\times 3-47)}{18}$
$x = \frac{(93-47)}{18}$
$x = \frac{46}{18}$
$x = \frac{23}{9}$
Therefore,
$\frac{23}{9}$ must be subtracted from $5 \frac{1}{6}$ to get $2 \frac{11}{18}$ .
