Answer:
We need to subtract 41/6 from 53/6 to get 8. Alternatively, we can say that 8 is 41/6 less than 53/6.
Explanation:
To determine how much to subtract from 53/6 to make 8, we need to perform the following calculation:
53/6 - x = 8
where x is the amount we need to subtract.
To isolate x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 53/6 from both sides:
53/6 - x - 53/6 = 8 - 53/6
Simplifying the left-hand side gives:
-x = 8 - 53/6 + 53/6
Simplifying the right-hand side gives:
-x = 41/6
Multiplying both sides by -1 gives:
x = -41/6
Therefore, we need to subtract 41/6 from 53/6 to get 8. Alternatively, we can say that 8 is 41/6 less than 53/6.
