Answer 2

The Answer is 2/17:

Step-by-step explanation:

• The process to find answer is as follows:

• Let us assume that the other number is X.

• Given number = 2/3        assuming other number = X
• Given sum of number is 40/51

ATQ

⇒ 2/3 + X = 40/51

⇒ X = 40/51 - 2/3

(taking LCM of numbers 51 and 3 which is 51)

⇒ X= 40/51 - 2 × 17/ 3 × 17

⇒ X = 40/51 - 34/51

⇒ X= 6/51

(reducing the numbers to the lowest terms)

⇒ X = 2/17
