Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the required number be x.
According to the question , we have
[tex]\dfrac{49}{6}-x=8[/tex]
To find the number (x) , we need to solve the above equation step-wise.
First Subtract [tex]\dfrac{49}{6}[/tex] on both the sides , we get
[tex]\Rightarrow\ -x=8-\dfrac{49}{6}[/tex]
Simplify ,
[tex]\Rightarrow\ -x=\dfrac{(6)(8)-49}{6}=\dfrac{48-49}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow\ -x=\dfrac{-1}{6}[/tex]
Multiply (-1) on both the sides , we get
[tex]\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
Hence, the required number to subtract from 49/6 to make 8 = [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
