Question

02 The sum of two numbers is 5/9 If one of the numbers is 1|/3
find the other​

Answer 1

Given :

The sum of two numbers is 5/9 If one of the numbers is 1/3

To find :

find the other number

Solution :

Let us note down the given details

Sum of two numbers = 5/9

One of the number = 1/3

By using the formula,

Other number = sum of number- given number

⇛ 5/9 - 1/3

By taking LCM for 9 and 3 which is 9

⇛ 5/9 - 1/3

⇛ (5 x 1 - 1 x 3)/9

⇛ (5 - 3/9)

⇛ 2/9

⇛ the other number is 2/9

Answer 2

Given:-

• Sum of two numbers is 5/9.
• One number is 1/3.

To find:-

• Other number.

$\large\tt\blue{Solution}$

Let other number be x

So,

$\implies \tt x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{9}$

$\implies \tt \: x = \frac{5}{9} - \frac{1}{3}$

$\implies \tt \: x \: = \frac{5 - 3}{9}$

$\implies \tt \: x = \frac{2}{9}$

x = 2/9

Verification:-

$\implies \tt \: x \: + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{9}$

• Put x = 2/9

$\implies \tt \: \frac{2}{9} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{9}$

$\implies \tt \frac{2 + 3}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$

$\implies \tt \frac{5}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$

Thus, the other number is 2/9
