What should be subtracted from 4 by 9 to get 5 by 72

1.	What should be subtracted from 4 by 9 to get 5 by 72
Answer» ANSWER: $X = \frac{3}{8}$ Step-by-step explanation: Let the no. be X which is SUBTRACTED from 4/9 According to question,(we have the equation) $\frac{4}{9} - X = \frac{5}{72}$ ⇒ $\frac{4}{9} - \frac{5}{72} = X$ Now,taking the LCM we can solve the above equation ⇒ $\frac{(8*4)- 5}{72} =X$ ⇒ $\frac{32 - 5}{72} = X$ ⇒ $\frac{27}{72} = X$ DIVIDE the above equation to GET the exact value of X ⇒ $\frac{3}{8} = 0.375 = X$
