Question

How much do you need to subtract from 49/6 to make 8

Answer 1

49/6 = 8 1/6 - 1/6 = 8 0/6
so 1/6 is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:
`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

Let the required number be x.

According to the question , we have

`(49)/(6)-x=8`

To find the number (x) , we need to solve the above equation step-wise.

First Subtract
`(49)/(6)` on both the sides , we get

`\Rightarrow\ -x=8-(49)/(6)`

Simplify ,

`\Rightarrow\ -x=((6)(8)-49)/(6)=(48-49)/(6)`

`\Rightarrow\ -x=(-1)/(6)`

Multiply (-1) on both the sides , we get

`\Rightarrow\ x=(1)/(6)`

Hence, the required number to subtract from 49/6 to make 8 =
`(1)/(6)`
