Answer:

Actually the answer is -⅙

Explanation:

43/6 written differently is 7 ⅙, because the fraction 42/6 is the same as 7 (42÷6=7). But since your number is 43/6 you get

7 1/6.

your original number is larger than 7 but the question was what number you have to "add" to get to 7. so they number has to be a negative number.

like this:

43/6 + (-1/6) = 42/6. which you rewrite now as

43/6 - 1/6 = 42/6. and I explained that 42/6 is the same as 7.
