. Which common no should be added or substracted to 17/24 to make it 1/2

• Since 17/24>1/2..the mumber is needed to be subtracted.
  let the no. subtracted be x
  so..17/24-x=1/2
  17/24-1/2=x
  therefore..x=5/24.

• 10 should be subtracted
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(22) No(26)
• 17+x/24+x=1/2
  x=-10
  
  and another case
  
  17+(-10)/24+(-10)=7/14=1/2

• ans=5/24 should be substracted
  17/24 +x=1/2
  x= -5/24
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
• its 5/24
  let that no. be x
  so 17/24+x=1/2
  or 17/24-x=1/2
  both eqns wlii give 5/24
