Question
Fill in the box: $\frac{1}{2}-\square=\frac{1}{6}$
✓
Answer
Let the missing space be $x$
We have,
$\frac{1}{2}-x=\frac{1}{6}$
$x = \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}$
= $\frac{1 \times 3-1 \times 1}{6}$
= $\frac{3-1}{6}$
= $\frac{2}{6}$
= $\frac{1}{3}$
We have,
$\frac{1}{2}-x=\frac{1}{6}$
$x = \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}$
= $\frac{1 \times 3-1 \times 1}{6}$
= $\frac{3-1}{6}$
= $\frac{2}{6}$
= $\frac{1}{3}$
