What Should Be Subtracted From $\frac{-5}{6}$ To Get $\frac{-5}{8}$?

Given: the numbers are $\frac{-5}{6}$ and $\frac{-5}{8}$  

To find: the number which if substracted from $\frac{-5}{6}$ gives $\frac{-5}{8}$

Solution:

$\frac{-5}{6} -x = \frac{-5}{18}$

$x =\frac{ -5}{6} + \frac{5}{18}$

= $\frac{-15}{18} + \frac{5}{18}$

= $\frac{-10}{18} = \frac{-5}{9}$

So $\frac{-5}{9 }$ should be subtracted from $\frac{-5}{6}$ to get $\frac{-5}{18}$
