Her brother is 8: 8 x 2 is 16, and 16 + 8= 24.
Basically we need to add and subtract 1/2 from 1/6:
(1) 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/6 - 3/6
= -2/6
= -1/3
(2) 1/6 + 1/2 = 1/6 + 3/6
= 4/6
= 2/3
Therefor the two numbers that are located 1/2 unit from 1/6 are -1/3 and 2/3
Which number carry’s the s?
2 2/3 = 2x3+2/3 = 8/3
8/3 / 1/3 = 8/3 x 3/1 = 8/1 = 8
