Answer 1

Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

let the rational number be x.

ATQ,

1/5 of x + 1 = 2/3

x/5 + 1 = 2/3

x/5 = 2/3-1

x = -1/3×5

=-5/3

Hence the rational number is -5/3

Answer 2

Answer: $\frac{-5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:- one fifth of a rational number added to 1 is equal to 2 upon 3.

To find:- The original number.

Solution:-

Let, the number be x.

According to question,

  $1+\frac{1}{5}x =\frac{2}{3}$

⇒$\frac{5+x}{5}=\frac{2}{3}$

⇒15 + 3x = 10

⇒ 3x = -5

∴ x = $\frac{-5}{3}$.

• Hence, the required rational number is  $\frac{-5}{3}$.
