Question
Replace $\Box$ by the correct number:$\frac{1}{2}-\Box=\frac{1}{6}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}$
Given: $\frac{1}{2}-\Box=\frac{1}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}=\Box$
$\Rightarrow\Box=\frac{1\times3}{2\times3}-\frac{1\times1}{6\times1}$ (because $LCM$ of $2$ and $6$ is $6$)
$\Rightarrow\Box=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{1}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\Box=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
$\Box=\frac{1}{3}$
