Answer 2

GiveN :-

• Sum of rational numbers = 5/8

• 1st rational number = 1/8

To FinD :-

• Other rational number

SolutioN :-

Suppose x be the other number

$: \implies \sf x + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8} \\ \\: \implies \sf x = \frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{8} \\ \\: \implies \sf x = \frac{5 - 1}{8} \\ \\: \implies \sf x = \frac{4}{8} \\ \\: \implies \boxed{\sf x = \frac{1}{2} }$

Therefore other number is 1/2
