What is fraction number?

Fraction number is the part of a whole number. To substract the fraction numbers, the base denominator of two should be equal.

Given information-

The result of subtraction of a fraction 5/2 with a missing fraction is 1/3.

Suppose the missing fraction is \(x\). Thus the equation can be written as,

\(\dfrac{5}{2} -x=\dfrac{1}{3}\)

Solve it for x,

\(-x=\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{5}{2}\\x=\dfrac{5}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3} \\\)

Make the base equal by cross multiplication method,

\(x=\dfrac{15-2}{6}\\x=\dfrac{13}{6}\)

Hence the missing fraction is 13/6.
