Question

24. Find two positive rational numbers whose sum is 2/3
and if the greater is divided by the smaller, the result is 2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let first number = x second number = y

According to question,

x + y = 2/3 ......(i)

x/y = 2

x = 2y ......(ii)

putting value of x in (i)

2y + y = 2/3

3y = 2/3

y = 2/3 * 1/3

y = 2/9

putting value of y in (ii)

x = 2* 2/9

x = 4/9

positive rational numbers are 4/9 and 2/9
