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)
